EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Went to work at a job and man didn't hold his end of deal. I have learned a lesson the hard way but hopefully i i can get it straight in civil court. I have all texts and emails that the man has sent me so we will see. I have given every chance I can for him to make it right and he has yet to.

Well I'm sure sorry you had to go through something like that. Here's to hoping you get all that's owed to you in the end!

Amen to that Robert I hope u get payed what he said he was going to pay u not a penny more not a penny less just the amount that was agreed good luck buddy

That bad been there a few times my self but it is common in construction trades but what comes around goes around

     now you know why hookers all ways get paid up front   lol  .  I hope you get what's coming to you  .

Have contacted the Justice of Peace in the area the work took place in and will be filing a suit with him come Monday talked with him yesterday

Well if you have it all taken care of then why do you come on here bashing someone?

I trusted someone on here and have been paid for every day I worked. I showed up but things were not ready so I stood around and worked when I could but still got paid for the whole day.

Did you show up on time or were you late? Did you do what you said you would do or only part?

If you dont get paid for work then clearly they don't want you to do any more work for them. The only reason that would be is if your work was not good enough. I have made mistakes at a job site but they always want me back. First if the job starts at eight then I am working at eight not pulling up. That seems to me to be a big thing. Then you don't see me sitting around, I am working. I also do not leave earlier than I said I would unless the work is finished. I have showed up but the tools were not there. I still got the work done. I may have used rebar or a pipe for a hammer or used a piece of metal for a temporary nail. But I give results instead of excuses. I have always been paid.

You are right dub. If the ad says "if you can't hang with me then don't come" and the person stands my self and crew up not once....not twice... not three times.....not four times plus. And still gets cash in hand but complains about amount. He is not being a responseable person. It amazes me at the blaming and lack of responsibility

The next demo u get and u need a hand, let me know, i'll head down there.

The demo I did we had to save the wall parts and move them over. Not near as much fun when you have to be careful not to break stuff  rolleyes But if you work then you get paid. I will stand up and tell anybody.

so no using compressed ammonium nitrate soaked in diesel oil n a blasting cap then?  ;D

Sorry while that would be real blast (pun intended) it would be frowned upon by the establishment.

Dub if you don't know something keep your mouth shut buddy

I do know something so I said what I know. You came on here and started this not me. So maybe you should have kept your mouth shut. Plus I also know you picked the wrong court and so much more. Just take your boo hoo stuff to the judge so he can tell you a keep it off of here. So back to my etrade references because those commercials crack me up.

I traded some unskilled work (me)for some skilled work (lou) with Lou and it was all good.  We got everything done pronto and everyone was happy.  I'd work with him again anyday.  Just my .02

 I haven't worked with lou, but I know him and I know he works hard for what he has and to provide for his children and wife. he has a lovely family is a guy I would help anytime if he needed it.

Thanks guys.

A blasting cap will not set of AN.

Sounds like someone on here thinks someone else on here owes him money.

Ur full of #2 cantex, a blasting cap will set it off. I used to blow stumps with it in east tx.  U must think ur an expert bomb tech for u to talk what u dont know

 Det cord will set off an. It is not cap sensitive , so a cap will not set it off 99% percent of the time. But what do I know I have only set off over 1000 shots using the stuff.  You might of been using a slurry mix or a datagel , which is cap sensitive. It comes in stick form. One looks like a road flare and the other kind of looks like a one pound tube of breakfast sausage.  But then again , I have not clue what I am talking about. Working for the second largest explosive manufacturer in the world I must be talking out of my azz. Isn't there a militia meeting somewhere you are late to ?

 yea u must be talkin out of ur 4th point of contact. the stuff I was using was hm made and using a shot shell with the pellets removed. im not in a militia, get ur crap together.

Ur spot on warren. Gotta show up on time everyday to get a full days pay.

Ur spot on warren. Gotta show up on time everyday for a full paycheck. Cant expect to get paid if u dont show up to work n earn the pay

Seems like you know everything Charles so keep talking out of your a$$ buddy

I know enough from my visit today with the other party and there is another person that can blow your creditability outa the water. Oh n by the way, im not ur buddy n im not talkn outa my buttocks. Good luck on ur claims court, if it makes it to the judge, id be suprised, let along you winning.

Think what you want but know the facts

I do know the facts. I talk the horse himself n mr ed told me bout it

So then what are the facts from your side?

Waiting

ur still waiting huh warren? u hit the target center mass earlier

If a man told someone he would pay him a certain amount then that man should pay that amount! If he wasn't performing then he should have told him not to come back and paid the man not let him keep coming back. I don't know the story but I know my word is my word.

 he did pay him, it was a partial payment, but he produced partial work, when he showed up. he was afforded way more chances than I would have given. iv seen people to leave the job site after being late 2 times, let along 5,6,7,8 times. the boss, plus 2 other workers can vouch for the lack of times he showed up for work.

I am amazed on how many people want to assume they know the facts. First of all the mother of the owner of the property stopped several times and asked where "Lou and the rest of the crew were at?" Second hogmantx1979 was left to work by himself three days and got more done then a three man crew did in a week. Third of all, he was told not to show up several times because the dumpsters were full and they could not do anything more until they were empty. Reality is that Lou paid his " buddies" and is refusing to pay what is due to hogmantx1979 which makes him a liar and a theif. Hmmmmm who wants to see proof?

Man this is starting to sound like dog trading. I have been on both sides of this before I had sorry people work for me that wasn't worth a lick and wanted top dollar I paid them and told them straight up what was what. But I have been on the other side when you do everything and don't get what was owed. But I never took to court told them what I thought of them and went my own way cuz the person that rights the checks wins not the guy that cashes them hard lesson but its the truth

Maybe if the man would do the Right Thing then it would all be good but the man is not wanting to be a Man and Man Up and do the Right Thing

Now finally someone has something to say. Now you did throw in some opinions. 1st who cares what the mother of the owner did or said? She is not anyone that matters. Clearly sounds like Lou trusted hogmantx1979. 2nd sounds like Lou trusted him again. Why compare to other people? Did he get done what he said he would get done? 3rd if he did not show when told not to show up then that does not matter. Did he show up when he was told to be there? Did he get the work done that he was told to do? Did the amount of work he had to do get reduced from when the pay was discussed? I am not talking emotion but he came on here bashing someone with no facts. Kind of like a dog trade did the dog work like it should have or not? Not opinion or anger just facts. Unlike dogs a man's work can be measured. Was it pay for day or for work?

Now I like to spell out how much I am getting and what I have to do for it. I prefer to be paid for the work and just get it done. Pay per day is for showing up. Just the way I see it. I hope the two of you can both be rational and when the dust settles both learn something good from it.

I will copy and paste text messages from both of us to show who is truthful and who isn't if anyone needs to see proof for themselves.

Y'all take this crap up on Facebook. :o
