Make the assholes park in the street. *If they haven't set up their
operation to work from the street or are jes plain unwilling, find a
new contractor. *Duh!


Duh? *Look at that duh again - there might be a mirror involved.

If the contractor backs the truck right up to the building and dumps
the stuff directly from the upper floors into the building it will be
easier and cheaper for him than having to rig up some chute, sidewalk
bridge or have to use more labor. *In other words it would cost the OP
more.

And that's the deciding factor - cost and liability for damage, which
is also cost. *Ask the demo guy to price it both ways, and then factor
in the price of replacing a couple or three squares of sidewalk and
fluffing up the lawn. *Let the numbers do the talking.

You are right, but the guy agreed to keep it off the lawn and he
didnt, it ****es me off even with a vebal on concrete replacement.
