It was a bit disheartening to find out today the contractor isn't coming on Monday. I keep having to contact him for any updates. This dude comes highly recommended by numerous people and excellent reviews. No one in this area has anything bad to say about him/company at all. At least not publicly and I've looked. So, he told me late next week instead of Monday. I dunno what to think. Just wait and see I guess. I also contacted the other electrician of whom I talked to almost 2 months ago.
I frankly told him that it wasn't really all the great that he obviously just blew me off. It's your company, you can do whatever you please but it also might affect your reputation. Well it didn't take him long to respond to that. I kept it pretty short and sweet. He actually profusely apologized and - made a bunch of excuses of which were of no importance to me, I dismissed him in my mind a while back when it became obvious he wasn't going to do anything that he said he was going to do. I instead went into a few groups full of people that build RV parks and presented the numbers I had been given by this company I am attempting to use and they said it either looked good or was cheap.
They seriously couldn't see how I was getting off so low on the septic system. Turns out, other states have much higher minimum gallons per day requirements for a system. Why? I have no clue. This state is allegedly 40 gallons per day. Other states are 120 and higher per day. I've spent plenty of time in RV's, I can't imagine going through that much water. You get pretty sparing with using it - tho that is usually because you are working with a fresh water tank that might hold 50 gallons of fresh water which doesn't last long if you are just using faucets as normal.
I've spent a lot of time listening to rich people telling either how they got rich or what you should be doing to protect your money and where you should be stashing it. One of them is off the cuff but quite humorous. He had a 5 point plan he was giving today - Don't have anything in your name, either put it in an LLC or corporation, have life insurance with long term coverage, 40ks, annuities and I can't remember the last one. All of this is difficult or impossible to subject to lawsuits was his point. I'm going to follow some advice to put the land in one LLC and the business in another. I'm still trying to under C corporations.
These people know things that most of us don't know. They have knowledge and some of them will impart it freely. It's certainly worth the time to at least hear them out. Not that I intend on becoming filthy rich, but I do need some business knowledge and short of going to school, this is at least something that might help me out. And most of them will tell you that you won't learn the things they learned from any schools.
Anyway, Brownsville run over, another run in the morning, but I decided to go home anyway. They have me penciled in for 10:30 load, meaning a bit more morning time to get up and get out of here. Everyone is in bed at this time of night but the dogs are always happy to see me whatever time it is lol.
I'm going to remain optimistic that this guy is going to finally get freed up and get started on my project. Not like there are a lot of options around here. Well, land clearing is endless contactors, but the rest of it, not so much.
Time for bed.
