Day 4: Instead of just "patching over seam points", as I had committed to, I elected to go ahead, and encapsulate the entire french drain zone. Going over the existing 15 year old 6 mil, and nearly 10 year old 12 mil poly made for some real aggravation. Like any remodel, I would have preferred to work with a clean slate. My customers were over the moon with the extra stuff Caimen and I did. The check valve was delivered yesterday. I got that plumbed in, borrowed the homeowner's water hose, and tested the new sump pump, check valve, and discharge line. I allowed it to perform a series of three fill ups and discharges. Everything works great! This job is a wrap! Big shout out to my 13 year old son for hanging with me for 4 solid days. Any of you reading this, no matter what you understand or believe about me, the amount of individuals that could hang with me for 4 straight days, inside of a crawl space, working at my pace, is a slim list. I have seen too many to count come and go. I have said it once, and I'll say it again, "This shit is a rough ass way to make a dollar." But in the end, for me anyways, hearing the genuine gratitude from my customers, that's everything! It's my favorit part of the job! Always has been! I hadn't got to hear it in a long time neither, as I have not done any projects in approximately 4 years! My friend told me yesterday as I was leaving, "Tanner, we appreciate you so much! You have been a godsend to us! The amount of effort you and Caimen put into this is amazing. You know Tanner, you have something that not many people possess....and that's integrity!" Those words make the hard work worth it for me.
I have had many of you message me these past four days, asking me if I will do your project. I appreciate each of you who ask me, just as I do the multiple weekly leads that contact me. Thank you all! But I am not committing to shit! And even if I did, my $500 consultation fee, and my 100% project balance being due up front will run a lot of you off! I hope it does! There's NO WAY I would pay someone up front for shit! You can't trust nobody out here. Here's what you can do though, if you have seen enough of me since I started Tennessee Technicians in November 2005, and understand my level of credibility, you can text me photos of your project. I am expensive as hell! I hope I cost more than anyone you could ever get on the other end of the phone. I should! But if you got a cherry of a project, and not some absolute pain in my ass, and you’re willing to follow my rules, I just might consider it. Maybe. No promises.
And if I ever happen to commit, just leave me be. Don't invade my space. Don't pester me. And don't ever think you're dealing with a "normal contractor". I do not want to do this shit. I have never wanted to do this shit. But I am the BEST to ever do this shit. And I know it. Anyone possessing any sense knows it too. I'll fly off the rails over some dumb customer shit! I'll fire your ass on the damn spot too. That's a FAT PROMISE!
So if you're ever lucky enough to get me, you better appreciate what I have given you access to, or I will take it away from you, quicker than you will have ever imagined! I won't give you no shit, but by god I won't be taking any neither. Not from you, nor anyone else. Period.
This now concludes my sermon for the day.
