Project: Find Brandini a Project

[Fredo]

I was trying to make it something else. Makes a lot more sense now.

they aren't behind, it is just the nature of construction, takes 45 ~ 60 days to get paid from the time a monthly draw is submitted. Basically I have to front the money and materials, do the work, and then submit a bill. That goes to the owner who reviews all of them to make sure the work is done, then sends it to the bank, which does the same thing. The Bank cuts the owner a check, he waits 5 days and pays the GC, they wait 5 days and pay me. Good fun.

I should be seeing a check around May for phase one, but then again there is phase two of the project ...

Get an AMEX Plum card.

I know you said you can't afford one right now, but there's an f004 ftoy on pirate for sale for $8K.

Get an AMEX Plum card.

the only slot my employees have to swipe that is not a place I would want to put any card of mine

Most things I have terms with my vendors on, bit there are quite a few things that just need old fashioned cash. Even if I did charge it, the bill would come due before I would get paid. Then there are the other expenses that aren't even project related. My biz burns 2500 a month just to keep the lights on so we have the opportunity to eve due work.

So moral of the story, cash is king, the more I have in the bank the less stress I have from job to job. So when GC's (four letter name starting with H) like the one I had for the Brazos County Sheriff's office take 5 months to pay, I am not out on the street. Long run it is good, just have to weather the low points.

This one dropped to $2k.

good price, but still no EFI or ex-cab ... those are must haves.

[JeepPhisherman]

Why is EFI a must again? I don't feel like reading through the 7 pages to find it...

fueling issues

Yea, that carb fuel can be a ***** to find! I found this place in Austin that stocks Toyota blinker fluid, muffler bearings and carb fuel!

Carb issues can be solved by: 1) reading "How to Get It with a Toyota Carb" on Pirate or 2) a call to Cary at GotPropane.com.

EFI swaps are easy as well, so just make sure you don't ****-can the right truck just because it has a carb.
