I have done my share of bucket repair, and still I have customers that want a big old weave as a cover. I explain to them that it is not the proper way to do the repair. They proceed to tell me that they have been in the hole digging business for blah blah blah years and that's how it has always been done. No point in arguing, you want a big fat ironworker weave as your cap, your paying my bill, thats what you will get. I still gouge the crack out and weld it 100% the right way, but they wanna see the big old cap
Brent, I deal with "the last guy was cheaper" everyday, but I sell quality, and that usually wins, I only have to fix it once. I have seen a bull prick in an X-ray before
lazy, lazy, lazy.
