This is for those of you that missed it on the Rotozip thread.



Oh yea .....I got one for ya!

Years ago, and I mean years, I was subing from a multi million dollar general who does mostly insurance repair contracts. They pressured me into a last minute counter top installation. Like 4:30 on friday last minute. I had been clearing fire damaged tree's all day and the only tool in my truck, other than a chainsaw, was a screw gun, 'what Luck' I thought.

The lady was pissed when I got there, "This was supposed to be down long ago.....I've been living in a motel......I was told......They never came........How could you work for people like that?" I heard alot of crap that day. She treated me like I had done this to her. She treated me like crap.

So I start to install the new counter top, never fails, a hold up out of the gate, sombody had measured wrong and the custom counter top was 6 inces too long. I said sorry mam I have to come back tomorrow. She went plumb off. I just hit mute on the ear lobes.

As I'm leaving she hands me the phone, It's the owner of the company, not the super, the big dog, and he's at home. He says to me "Bob." even though I've never met him. " I don't care what you have to do! Put that counter in before you leave!"

When I fired up that chainsaw in her kitchen she about fell out. The whole house filled up with smoke and smelled like gas.

But ya know what.......it really turned out to be a pretty good cut.:Thumbs:
