Whole lotta money up front and regular progress payments is what that job is.

I would pass on that job looks like a headache, only way I would consider would be needing work (money) cause I had no other jobs lined up. I would tell him I was too busy and give him a referral to someone else.

That’s an easy job. You reach it all with a 6 foot ladder.

T-111 right over that stuff,new windows+ trim... He wants it replaced and any rot under it replaced also. Run away, fast...that job will grow out of control, and a pizzed off customer in the end. A good bit of the framing will be rotted, heck driving nails might break plaster on the inside walls.

I doubt I'll mess with it, it's not like I'm hurting for work like a few months ago.

I doubt I'll mess with it, it's not like I'm hurting for work like a few months ago. Looks like one of those jobs that's impossible to bid because it really is "time and materials - of which there's no way to know how this lands, given current status. And most people get about 100k into this, see it's only 1/3 done and bail - I never get paid"

thanks for making me come to my senses. I'd just end up getting myself overloaded.

I'd stay away from that mess, if I owned it I would burn it and start over.

That's a job I would only take on a cost+ bid.
