Yep...call your insurance company, they even start fires on dry grass at that distance

She sent an estimate and photo to the gc. I can't freaking win.

Sounds like your are screwed Lincoln!!!!

Ouch. Sounds like you need some caution tape next time. I'm always super anal when it comes to safety clearances on commercial jobs. Another reason I prefer residential. Good luck!

They are not sparks...... by then ..........It's the hot SLAG and yes , you can hook up a fine painted vehicle real quick.
Thats exactly what a super does , looks for and trys to avoid insurance claims.
That is my daily position . Most contractors dislike the super on jobs , but , they are there to cover both your company's ace and yours.

'n bulls

t....no way it costs 5600 dollars just to repaint her car. My dad was a bodyman for 40 years and a simple repaint won't even come close. I'll bet I could fix up her car with a nice cut polish....I'll only charge 5000.00

.

Hope it works out....but at the very least get your own estimate done. They're full of ****.
