The Change Order Boat

• Add to quote

Mark, I am pretty sure that I have seen that image more than 1-2 years ago from some other site, so that does not jive with your "Original Photographers" time frame. Check with Michael Stone. That just may be where I saw it several years ago, but I am not 100% certain. I have seen it so many times that the original time frame is blurry to my memory now too. Oh, I know.....Thats My Boat...Yeah, thats it!!! :no: Ed  

Thanks. The photographer is confident it is him, and the details are so great as to be accurate (but others may have taken similar pictures, presumably, i notice at least one other image on google images). Although I haven't been able to speak with the contractor directly, I have verified his identity through local construction associations in Memphis.  

The joke is as old as dirt. I'd bet you'd find it in hieroglyphs on the pyramids. :laughing:  

I believe the picture was taken on the Mystic River Mystic Ct.

Beware the Culture of Change Orders

Design & Remodeling , Remodeling , Repairs & Advice

By Mark McClanahan, President of Mosby Building Arts

The remodeling industry is tough on consumers.  The Better Business Bureau typically receives more complaints annually about remodeling companies than any other industry.  Considering this – along with what a person hears firsthand from friends and family –  it’s no wonder why homeowners are gun-shy when it comes to hiring a remodeling firm.

Unfortunately, there are some remodeling companies who contribute to the sentiment consumers have about the industry.  Some companies look for ways to make more money once they’re in your house.  I’ve heard this referred to in the remodeling industry as “having a culture of changes orders.”  In layman’s terms, it means a company trains their field associates to sell additional work beyond the original contract and scope of work.

Another way this is accomplished is by initially providing incomplete project bids.  To compete with other companies and land the job, some contractors will purposely provide a lower bid and are fully aware of an upcoming moment when the client’s house is torn up mid-job and something else will need to happen to complete the job. At this point, the client is hooked, and it’s an opportunity to charge more than the original contract price.

This “culture of change orders” has created a legitimate reason for consumers to expect needing 30% – 40% more money beyond what they signed for on a fixed-priced contract. Paying more than initially quoted is not a remodeling industry standard; this is a tactic used by only a small portion of contractors.

So, how can you protect yourself from this change order ploy?  There are 4 key signs to look for:

•  If the remodeling company never visits your house yet has a contract with a dollar amount for you to sign, you should walk away. It is impossible for the contractor to estimate an accurate cost for the work without seeing the conditions of your house first hand.
•  If the remodeling company doesn’t pull permits, you should walk away. There are plenty of instances of an inspector learning of non-permit work underway in your home, and they will halt the job until permits are obtained. This results in a significant delay to the job as well as an increase in the cost of the project.
•  If the remodeling contractor quickly writes out a bid on a piece of paper and hands it over in lieu of a proper contract, you should walk away. This typically does not hold up as a binding contract and is a sure sign of trouble to come.
•  If the remodeling company submits a bid that is significantly less than a competitor, you should walk away. This is a sure sign they’ve left out something important to successfully complete the project. In fact, many companies that appear to have an expensive bid have simply included all expenses in their honest, up-front bid, and do not rely on cost overruns.

Another thing about low bids; Mosby’s St. Louis designer Jake Spurgeon put it best in this article when he wrote: “That low price tag too often means that required work was missing from the initial work scope. Items like an electrical panel upgrade, plumbing stack replacement or code compliant upgrades will come up once the project is underway. These become change orders, and it adds to the final bill.”

Should homeowners expect change orders?

Yes, change orders are a common occurrence, but they should happen for only two reasons:

•  The homeowner wants additional work done because they are happy with how things are going.
•  Something is uncovered during construction that was not in the contract because the house conditions hid something from view. These are usually referred to as “unforeseen conditions” on your initial contact.

Change orders should not be considered a normal (and unknown) part of your home remodeling project cost. A professional remodeling company considers all details of a job to come up with a fair price for expert work backed with a warranty and assurance of future support to you.  What may seem like a higher price tag upfront is really an honest estimate of what it will realistically cost when done without excessive change orders.

Choose a remodeling contractor that gives you an upfront honest price for honest work so that the cost of the project will be worth every penny. I’d like to recommend Mosby Building Arts as just such a company for your St. Louis home remodeling needs. Here are a few reasons why you should choose us .

• Change order boat mystery solved

I ran into your website with the picture of Change Order. The history of the picture is simple. I am a management consultant who does a lot of work with construction companies. Mostly finance and organization. I was on assignment in Vermillion , Ohio in late July 07 eating at the Red Clay on the River restaurant patio over looking the water. I noted the boat and tender moored in a slip across the water and given my construction background thought the boat and tender and names highly funny. Shot the picture with a digital camera that I carry, sent some copies to a few close friends and associates who I thought would appreciate the humor. This year (March 09) I was with a client in New Jersey, who had the picture in his office and said “see my boat”? My immediate answer was that it wasn ’t his boat since I shot the original image. I knew it was my original from the girl in black in the picture, the placement of her leg behind the piling and the bow of the boat just entering the picture on the lower left. I have no idea who owns the boat other than he appears to be a successful contractor with a great sense of humor. The interesting part of this story is that I had no idea the image would resonate as it has. I found that you can Google the picture and find it which is how I happened on your website. I know the power of the Internet but had never really experienced how things of interest can travel so widely in cyberspace. There is a small part of me that wishes I had 10 cents for every computer this picture has been sent to. I might be in Tahiti with a beach house etc. Oh well. But I am happy that many others seem to have enjoyed it.

I live in Vermilion Ohio on the river and assure you this boat is not picured in the Vermilion river across from the Red Clay. It is not the Vermilion river. Mystery not solved.

Brian Ernest responded in an email to me: "Mark I can assure you that the boat was in Vermillion. I am absolutely not mixed up on the location. The picture was shot around the latter end of July 07. I attach an excerpt of my credit card record (not for publication) for the period. So I am pretty sure that it was Vermillion. I was also accompanied by another consultant who remembers the situation. So your blog friend is not correct. I don’t know if the waterway next to the Red clay is actually the Vermillion River or a canal dredged in from Lake Erie but I am positive about the restaurant location. Regards Brian"

I, for one, am not surprised the owner of this boat has not come forward. Change orders play prominently in many construction disputes. For an active contractor to have this photo circulating (or to own the boat in question) could prove a real credability problem in front of a jury. Naturally this is a joke... but so are dozens of stupid emails and comments that result in litigation or materially alter a party's position in litigation. Maybe this guy's made a killing and doesn't need to work. Or maybe he's an accountant, attorney or other consultant who doesn't actually issue change orders. Otherwise, I'd change the name of my boat in a big hurry!

One other thing. I've seen a different photo of the same boat, without the girl pictured here. Instead a tall blond guy is leaning against the boat. Just and FYI.

If I am not mistaken I shot this picture on the Mystic River in Mystic, CT. Harry Gates Gates Construction Corp. Little Ferry, NJ. I could be wrong.

I thought I snapped this picture at Seaport Marine on the Mystic River in Mystic, CT. Could be wrong. Harry Gates Gates Construction Little Ferry, NJ Now Great Lakes dredge & Dock.

I saw this picture for the first time in 2004, not solved...

I can say "MYSTERY SOLVED" with certainty. That photo is taken in Charlevoix, MI on Lake Charlevoix in the harbor ( called Round Lake). The gas dock is on the south side of the marina and when you leave it that is the view you get. When leaving the gas dock, I am guessing it was sometime in the 2006 - 2008 time frame, I saw the same boat and dingy there tied up in just about that same location. I took a photo because I thought - who would actually be in the business and name their boat that - unless it was a joke. I am looking for my original photo to see if it might be this one, but I am unable to locate it. I will keep looking to see if I might actually be the one who took it. Even if it is not my photo I am quite sure of the location.

The "Change Order(s)" boat name is not unique. I passed such a boat/name combination on the I-5 highway in Oregon 30 years ago. Five years later I talked to a contractor with the same boat/name combination in Watsonville, California. He assured me that his boat had never been to Oregon. Parenthetically, I used to own a print shop and sometimes printed change order forms for contractors.
