Sparky66wv,
Thanks for your kind words. If we can't help out the good guys like you then what the h^&l are we doing here? It made my day to realize that you were going to accept our help. I know it took a lot of soul searching for you to accept, but you have to remember that we want to help you out. Mainly because you were not asking for it. That shows that you, and all the others on this board are stand up guys.
I know that you will learn from this and probaly change the way you schedule your jobs and certainly the way you bill.
I don't want to sound like I am on a real big soap box. I am just hope that we can help you get out of this and on your feet.
Like the Watt doctor said on a different post. It's never wrong to do right, and "it's better to give than to receive."
Scott

Hey Watt Doctor, Sparky quoted you and I just quoted you in two straight posts, does that make you the ECN guru? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) Scott [This message has been edited by Scotts (edited 12-04-2002).]

Virgil,
As you know My thoughts are with you too.
Many times the best measure we can have of our worth is simply the effect that we have on others around us. Please remember that.

Look out for a envelope with some funny-looking foreign stamps, Virgil.

Scott, The Watt Mama would probably refer to me as the "ECN Goober". I take your post as a compliment. Just don't ever...ever...call me "late for dinner." Please pass the salt, Doc

ECN Goober? I think we all might fit into that category!

Wow! I know I am a little late to this one but, been very busy lately. As most have said here Been in your shoes before, and fortunately it has always worked out. It helps me to put payment terms in my proposals, ( this way they know what to be ready for ) and always link them with inpections and milestones in the job. When it comes to the final inspection if I have not been paid for the rough no final. Keep at it! You will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/smile.gif) Wirewiz

Once again, I'd like to express my gratitude to you all. Thank you. With your great advice, encouragement, empathy, and good will, I'll get through this. And ironically, I am learning from this, in ways I did not expect, about myself and others, in regard to the strenghth of our friendships here and the willingness of people to help others. It's beautiful, really. [This message has been edited by sparky66wv (edited 12-06-2002).]

Virgil,
From an electrician on the other side of the pond to you i do post monday morning some working capital for yourself and your family.
I like most others have `been there done that`
But remember WE are a family here, and we look after our own. !!
Do not even consider repaying the money as i would not feel good about it.!!!
Keep it together mate.
