Its funny isnt it when they do stuff like that. I was looking at a large demo job, taking down an olfd factory owned by the city. The city stipulated that the demo contractor had to remove the old beams and salvage them, load them on a trailer, and send them off to some company, and the city kept the money. So a contractor chimes in with “So what lengths would you like the copper cut up into?” ... i blew snot on that one. Needless to say the city official didnt think it was funny at all.

We have those rates around here and demo laborers are making 43.25 an hour. It baffles me.
