So I get this call from a guy I had met a few years earlier, now kinda a buddy, we kept in touch after initially working the same remodel jobs as laborers.
He knew I was struggling to find full time work in Oregon, and he had just started working for this lady contractor who paid every week, in cash, money gram, PayPal, or Venmo (but no checks?) and she was looking for some more skilled workers, maybe even someone with enough experience to be a foreman.
I got her number. Her name was Lee. I thought it was a guy named lee at first. But anyway. She corrected me on the phone. It was lea. And she told me her bullsh*t life story; grew up in the bay. Went to college. Worked as a line man for pg&e and Bc of the dot com boom, right place right time she said, she became a manager.
I told her what I needed to make a week to drive the 550 miles south, and get an air bnb and work for her. She agreed, on an hourly basis, and I was there the next Monday.
I worked that week at this house in Richmond Ca right next to some catholic schools baseball field and Richmond high schools track and foot ball field. If it wasn’t in Richmond calif, it was a sweet a*s lot and a cool cut de sac and a kinda cool house. I’m got paid that Friday and decided to get more of my tools from my place in Oregon... I was back the next week and she paid via Venmo that week too...
Anyway. We talked a lot about her past. The whole pg&e lineman to management bit. She was a licensed electrician... then she claims she became a general contractor. She went on to fabricate that she and her current business partner has been in business for 20 years. That he was the finance and she was the team builder: the labor boss, the glue. The day to day oversight in the jobs.
She has no contractors license with the CDLB in California and never has.
She has been locked up or under federal supervision for most of the past decade, so she hasn’t been flipping 20 homes a year like she claims.
