The Most Epic Contractor Story Ever Shows How Rich People Solve Problems
Working as a contractor can be incredibly interesting and exciting, with different locations and workplaces to see, and many interesting people to meet.
Nobody knows this better than Kevin. Working on a client’s house while the owners are away in Europe, it seems like just another regular day for Kev who has been on the job for quite some time now.
However, this time things turned out to be a little different. “In 35 years nothing like this has ever happened, so I’m on pace for another 35 boring years. I’m very much OK with that,” he explained.
So what happened to Kevin on this particular day? He showed up at the house as usual, however this time there 4 cars were parked in the driveway. Weird right? Weird indeed. And boy, did it escalate from there.
Scroll down the read the story below, and if you have a contractor horror story let us know in the comments!

Share on Facebook"Buddy, I don't even clean my own house" just killed me! This would be me in 15 years!
It's me now but I'm not a contractor and no f*****g way I'm cleaning anyone else house.
Load More Replies...Despite all the weirdness that happened in this story, I give the contractor kudos for taking care of the situation for the homeowner and telling him some teens were in his house. Most contractors would have just walked away without saying a word...
What? Why would anyone walk away from their job because other people were there? You still probably signed a deal. Walking away from a contract with a rich man is not the best idea for your wallet for multiple reasons. If the contractor just peaced out and didn't way a work they'd be the biggest pieces of s**t ever.

The contractor did the right thing. No wonder the homeowner wanted him to fix the house—lots of integrity, That's worth paying for.
Did anyone else notice the little girl flicking you off in the profile picture?
OMG not until you said something. hahahahahahaha. Hopefully she doesn't realize that's what she is doing.

Load More Replies...He says he’s aged six years but it also sounds like he just got six years worth of pay in a day.
This is such an amazing story haha!!! Truly shows how hard it is to turn down any s****y job when the price is right. Glad those kids got their asses kicked lol
Good for him.. he's probably just secured a lot of jobs through this guy by taking the extra responsibility.
On Topic: I know a wealthy guy. He've bought an office in a building, needed some extra electric power for the office activity, the neighborhood wasn't friendly enough to share their power. He calls his friend "Mr I know a guy". He says 3k $ will fix the problem. Next day the entire building lacks electricity, the electric company comes to the rescue. They dig the street, fix the cable, all done in 24 hours. The office has the extra power needed. The electric company has layed an extra cable labled as "emergency power line" that supplies the extra. Money can buy anything.
Horror story? Dude just had his money more than double for next to no work. I wish all my horror stories more than doubled my money. Yeah, that sounds just awful. I've done thousands and thousand of feet of trim and flooring in my day. I'll take that job in a heartbeat. Really funny writing though. Loved it.
Not only a great story, but Kevin's a good writer. Maybe consider writing when you retire? What else have you written?
Well, it does look like, it worked perfectly for him. I do wish I get crazy rich like that. It won't do much good. Bt it would be a different feeling to just over pay anyone for even the small things.
Not sure if this is a horror story or rags to riches story? The addicts bad choices made you a lot of money. Regardless of being head contractor for a few months but all that extra loot and whatever you got can go into your kids college. It's a great bonus minus the B.S. but still good job!
One question: Is that the contractor in the picture? Because he doesn't look a day older than 35. He's been doing this work since birth?
He doesn't have to be the same age as his profile picture. Maybe that profile picture is one he's particularly fond of. :-)
Load More Replies...IDK. I guess I'm glad I live in an area where, if this happened, my contractor would just take pics of the damages for me on the premise of being a decent human being. I have mixed feelings about this one.
San Francisco is requiring all buildings that have added garages and apartment buildings with above a certain number of units to be retrofitted so they don't collapse (and possibly take out adjacent buildings) in an earthquake. This is good since large parts of the city would go down like dominoes in a major quake. My building was originally flats but cut into studio apartments during WW2 and now falls into the latter category. We had 3 different engineering companies look at it and their estimates to reinforce the building ranged from $250,000 to almost $400,000. The building was built in 1903 and survived both the 1906 and 1989 quakes with no problems. We had the head City Building Inspector looked at it & his first question was, "Where's the garage?" They will be adding a couple of steel frames at the front and back. The cost? About $20-25,000. Of course not one of the "professionals" would have bothered to get it reinspected.
Where's the Horror Story? Guy made a lot of money and accepted the terms.
You too would s**t your pants if a cop was about to shoot you.

Best answer? Immediately sell that swell lake house for 1/2 its value and pay yourself a 90% fee...which, with Power of Attorney? Is completely legal.
"possibly the understatement of the year but it's only January" "one change of underwear later and the cop and I have an understanding" "a string of obscenities, some that would make a sailor blush" I love how this guy writes.
Oops. This got posted in the wrong spot. Ignore everyone! ☺️
