Good! We love a certain company that works in some of the same areas that we work in also. It seems they are always waiting for the one big home run that will give them a fat payday.
With my references, portfolio and knowledge, we get every single job when we quote hand in hand with them. I love that company! I really need to call them and see if they need anything just so they stay in business.
Bottom line: Don't worry about it. Stay confident in your own company and take Lanelle's advice.
I just saw it happen to my client from the pool company. They hit some minor rock ( the loader w / teeth was slow but still digging it ) & they decided they had to have a backhoe. No biggie. They rented a Bobcat 442, 445 or something like that and used it for a total of 8 hours.Still used the same operator that was going to be digging the pool anyway.
Charge to the client that he OK'D:
$4000.
Ouch!

It happens all the time, just a part of life.
