Today I went to the lumber yard to get some tools and materials. I explained to the manager that I was building a deck for a neighbor and I needed supplies. I explained that I'm an independent contractor and I would like all of the tools and materials for free since I'm really not making a huge profit yet, and I'm only a small one person business. The manager said I could borrow some tools for 30 days, but had to buy them at the end of the trial period. He wasn't flexible on pricing for lumber either, I guess he just doesn't care about the small contractor AT ALL! I think I can get some pallets from the recycling center, enough to get started and move on to the next project. Maybe when I get ready for my next job these big companies will finally care about the little guy. Running a small independent contracting business is so difficult these days because of this.

But I'm an independent contractor.
