Re: How Do You Bet On A Job?
well then, now that we all know you want to bit on jobs, i think you should go back to the place that gave you a license and confess you haven't a clue about much of anything and give your license. Than go to home depot and ask shoppers to bit on the jobs they are wanting to do......WHY GOD WHY?????

Re: How Do You Bet On A Job?
in my experience, in order to successfully bit on a job, it's best to use false teeth for the first few...you are bound to break them...after you get used to it, and build up stronger teeth, you can begin to use your own teeth. it takes skill and practice to successfully bit on a job..but in time, you will be biting of more than you can possibly chew.
good luck and happy biting.... |

Re: How Do You Bet On A Job?
usually after I bit a job, I use alot of scope of work to rinse with before getting down on one knee to give a proposal to a customer, you will also need a valid library card to get permits, you can usually get your permits from the post office

Re: How Do You Bet On A Job?
You guy's are cruel !!!!!!
I find the best way to bit on a job is get close enough to the nearest corner and start from there, easier to get your teeth around the corner's. Seriously man, it looks you have a lot of work to do before you can even think about going it on your own. |

Re: How Do You Bet On A Job? Maybe we all have it wrong. Maybe if we bit our jobs we would have more control over them. Biting hurts ya know. I don't gamble so I'll pass on the betting. But maybe contractors should get in a poker game for jobs rather than going through all the estimating, take-offs, scheduling, ect involved in "bidding" a job. Winner would get the job and make a lil extra cash in the proccess.

Re: How Do You Bet On A Job?
I'll bet you don't get the job until you get some more experience. I think you bit off more than.... (do) you know the rest!!
