Hardest,easiest.craziest Job You Have Done?


Craziest;

Last year a guy from the islands paid me to blast his D-8 or 9 or whatever Cat dozer it was .

Showers were predicted on the day I showed up.The owner said "so what blast anyway" so I did in the rain.it looked terrible -metal rusted as quick as the paint came off.He was thrilled and paid me in full before I was finished.

Turns out he was sending to the island where he owned a Quarry and didn,'t want to pay a heavy import tax as he would if it was looking good in tiptop shape.

thats true. new cars/equipment are taxed more. if he could get it in a few parts, he may be able to get duty free, since its an agriculture part going for agriculure development.
