My quick tip of the day is something I heard Today in Show 41.

If you are in a tight schedule and you want your contractor to not go and take a lunch break that can last 2 hours or more, Then you can call the contractor and let him know that you got for them some pizza or hamburgers for lunch so they can stay on site and finish the job faster.

What if you should happen to find a contractor who recognizes this as an underhanded trick to get more work per day out of him and make him jump according to your schedule? How would you feel at your job if the boss showed up at lunchtime, threw you a chocolate bar, and told you to eat it and get back to work?
