I don't think paying in cash is illegal. Not reporting it via 1099 in certain cases, maybe.

KentWhitten

Why would it be?

Every bill in your wallet & pocket has the phrase, "This note legal tender for all debts public and private." Paying cash is perfectly legal. Not paying taxes on that income isn't.

I think he is smoking crack!

And be sure he will send you a 1099 at the end of the year.

open letter to all GC's on this board....

some of you get tired of the GC bashing that you perceive taking place by the subs here...please be advised that while you personally may be an honest, upstanding GC who is a pleasure to work with, 90% of the subs on this board will never get a chance to work with a GC like you.

However, every single sub on this board will, at one point or another, and sometimes at multiple points, work with a "GC" like the one that posted this ad.

So, their only frame of reference for GC's are guys like the poster of this craigslist ad.

Understand?

precisionbuild

I already understood.
I started as a sub, and I have worked as a sub the longest in my career.
I then worked as a superintendent (better than being a sub for the sh!tty GC's).
GC is definitely the route to go if you have the skills and stamina. It isn't an easy job.
A big majority of GC's aren't cut out to be GC's. They are better off being subs or employees. That's why we have bad GC's. They are in over their heads.


But what do I know? Just my .02.

There is a big difference between a suit & tie GC and the Working GC

Suit and tie GC's can be some of the best. There are alot of suit and tie GC's though that suck at the job.

Bottom line, you have to be able to juggle all aspects and wear many suits or hire the appropriate people to juggle all the aspects and wear many suits.

Some of the worst GC's I've seen were one man shows who work the job all day. They can be good, but usually aren't.

I try to keep a balance. I don't mind swinging a hammer, but that is not the important part of the job.

Mitchell Const.

point taken!

Most GC's in my area are like myself one, or two, or three man bands.

Yep... According to the IRS, a company paying someone over $600 is required to do the 1099 thing.

NONE of us know everything about this business, but the group of folks here IMO are top notch. Also, we all come here to hopefully learn more, which in turn is a measure of intelligence.

Mitchell Const.

I agree with you hence why I am here learning

This Craigs list guy is a complete tool. I can see it now.

Condisending prick who will pick a guys work apart regardless of quality.

Finds a reason to cut your pay at every turn.

Wants the carpenter to run across town to pick up the 3 2x's that got tore out of the remodel of his Mothers house 4 years ago.

You'll have to go hunt him down at 1 of 4 Hooters on payday to get the money you were suppose to get 3 weeks ago.

Sad thing is he'll rape a bunch of hungry young kids and make a pile.
