Virgil, there are a few things you must ALWAYS remember about being a sub contractor. "No good deed goes unpunished", "there is no honor among thieves", "the C-rate company with the low bid looks great on paper", and last "someone was wiring these jobs before us and there will be some poor sole doing it after we are long gone."
I dont fall for the dangling carrot anymore. All i can say is if you would not trust someone with your life, dont trust them with your business. C-O-N-T-R-A-C-T!!!
I have learned that code thumping in front of customers and GC usually leads to a p*ssing contest. Now I play dumb and say "i dont know if that is allowed, let me call the inspector on that". Knowing all along that the code does not allow it and as soon as i alert the inspector he'll agree with me. It's a good trick and has always worked for me. Good Luck!
