i went to bid on a large job for what im going to call conspiracy people because there was about 18 of them and it was about 150 acres of land and they wanted 8 ponds dug, 93 acres cleared and burned and basically they where building what I assumed was there homesite for " end of the world" damn election year brings out the crazy people with money. well this job had about id call 47k dollars wroth of welding I might be off but they wanted a bunch of shipping containers welded together and buried into the ground bunch of shelter built and welded just a bunch of welding. my bid was 418k because many reasons my buddy threw in a bid about I think he said he was around 432k bunch of others said the same because we went and disused this because the people looked insane. I have a welder I was a welder I can weld so I was cheaper then everyone because they dint have a welder and they would of had to hire one so I figured id get this bid. nope some guy from down the road won don't know how much but enough for him to buy two liugong machines and some other junk. well got a call the guy needed the welding done because he doesn't own a welder nor has anyone to weld and im close by with my truck and welder. I told him 50k because screw him he told me 10k sounded fair to him ended of that conversation. went down that way to look at some land for sale both of his machines brand new broken down along with his grader a loader and two dump trucks all his got left going is a 1994 120 hitachi and a d5 dozer. well I got the call from one of the owners asked if I could finish the job because its very important this job gets done before next year I told him my price because I went up in price because screw them I was at 500k now. offered me the contract of the guy who was doing it his price came out to be about 298. hung up the phone and now im watching the guy down the road from me go bankrupt so has anyone heard anything good about lliugong machines I might can get them cheap now
