Contract climber rate?

I think it's different being a subcontractor than an employeeas to responsibility for damage.

This gets messy when a subcontractor is working with tools and employees of the general (main) contractor.

Subs can't use/ work with general contractors', tools, employees, nor supervision/ direction.

If I hire an electrician to do something for my company, I wouldn't be involved. Same trade or different trade... no involvement (in Washington State, ymmv).

You got it Sean, that's how it is here in New Hampshire as well.

Hmm. Legals aside, I am personally responsible for what I break, damage or what have you. If I made the cut, it's on me. If I gave the "go" word, I am taking responsibility for what happens. I take ownership to extremes. That's what I'm paid for, responsibility to mitigate risk and the skill to complete that task.

Legal jargon aside, I do what I feel is right, even if it bites me in the ass.
