Contractors hired to paint our primary tower for 75 grand. Personally I thought it was a stupid waste of money to begin with, but corporate sent us the money and told us to use it for that, so we didn’t really have a choice there
It took the fuckers over a week and they finally finished two nights ago. I inspected their work yesterday after they loaded everything up and left.
Overspray on everything, the windows on the control room for the tower weren’t even taped and you can barely see through them, the concrete wall on the back of the tower has safety yellow paint all over it, grease fittings, safety and caution signs and fire extinguishers all caked in paint, as are electrical boxes.
And to top it off, they busted two light fixtures on the tower and the sight glass on the oil tank for the feeder and stuffed a piece of plastic in there to keep all the oil from spilling out and didn’t say a word to anyone.
The owner of their company came by this morning, and my boss is never here when someone has to be the bad guy.
I showed the guy the pictures of the busted stuff, and showed him all the overspray. Pretty well told him it was a half ass job at best and that I personally wouldn’t recommend his company.
He seemed rather pissed. Apparently he has like 5 different crews, and two of them were at other locations of ours and did a great job.
I don’t feel bad about it.
I think I could have knocked out the paint job over a weekend if they let me drink for 50k
