First Ever Contract
I Moved to my own place here in Chicago October 2020. I am emplyed as a Union Ironwoker and during my off season ( January and February ) I decided to start doing handyman work on my own to generate more income. It soon took of and I was doing jobs everyday. March 15th was a day to remember because a client called want to have some custom builds done in the upstairs of the house. I soon found myself taking on a 25k project which I planed to sub out.
The contractors I hired out did well up until the last 3 weeks of the project. I soon found myself doing most of the finishing work as well as assuring the customer that I will get it finished right. I finally finished but the experience for both of us was not so pleasant.
It was the most stressful job I've ever done but he lessons as confidence I've gained from this will stay with me for life.
