im posting this because a couple people made some good points as far as a definite start date not given to me. now i've got a definite start date, october 5th. i know i got some criticism for the lack of work this guy has but my last boss isnt working either. i know quite a few contractors that are flat out not working. its rough where i live. the work is going to last through the winter so at least i know i got that, and if he falls through in the spring i can work for the landscaper again.

Hey, you gotta do what you have to in this economy.

Hang in there.

Where in MA are you? What builder, if you don't mind me asking?

Also good luck, and stay busy I know I'm doing the best to keep busy.

It always make me feel better to know a start date. Especially on a big job that'll take me through the winter. I've got a small maintenance contract on a kids summer camp that will help out, but its not much more than a lawn service. At least it'll cover the fuel bill while I scout out some more work.
Me no complain. Work is work.:thumbsup:

yeah definitely, i hate tentative things. in any situation not just work, it always makes me feel uneasy about it. but he has a for sure date so i can rest easy. im hoping that the landscaper i work with gets a lot of clean ups, and i can do a lot of hours with builder. i wont have any more projects around the house by the end of september so i'd like to do 50-60 hours a week from october until january between the two jobs. it just is a bum out because this month is gonna be pretty much nothing.
