i was shocked when i arrived and nothing was moved..... i assumed things that maybe i shouldnt have
i didnt have preping the house in my bid and didnt discuss it much with the builder...im just used to it being handled
we could have pulled off the job i guess....but the builder was hyper to get it going....a delay for 4 days would have also been a problem....
i dont think its my responsibility to prep the house or prepare the homeowner...thats the job of the GC....otherwise why is he there? (he didnt show up until 10am and we were there at 7am)....he should have been there when we started.....
sorry guys...im putting the blame on the GC no matter what you guys say
is it my fault for not having it in my contract? maybe....i do remodels all the time with GC's.....they always have tarps/ram board down on the floors and plastic up around the work area.....ive never had to do that....not ever....preping a jobsite is not the plumbers job, not the electricians job, not the hvac's job.....its the GC or the demo guy he hires
How is it not your job to protect things and clean up after yourself?
This one's on you kid, you are wrong you screwed up.
I don't understand the mentality where contractors don't think it's their jobs to protect things or clean up after themselves.
Wtf ever happened to personal responsibility.
its just bad planning....im blaming the gc for 0 planning...you guys want to blame me for not doing the GC's job

Then you talk to the gc before cutting a pipe. You never damage client's property or leave a mess.
so a sub should pay $10,000 for a moving company and storage units when he finds things not done?

is it the GC's job to plan things.....its not a small/minor thing here....its major....its something anyone could see coming....you look up/see pipes full of water.....how will they come down? whats under them? whats inside those pipes?.......it wasnt discussed in detail or in my contract because its just common sense stuff......if i discussed every detail or every job(the obvious stuff) id never get off the phone with the GC...
bottom line---the gc should have been there at 7am with me........the whole issue would have been handled by 7:01......anyone argue that?

huggytree said:the difference is it takes 1 minute to cover a tub....which anyone would include in their bid..it takes 3 days to move their belongings or 3-4 hours to cover all their stuff in plastic (and then it would still get wet on the floor) i agree with your above comment, but it is not the same---the scope is as different as you can get i should have contacted the GC....i agree with that!
