Quick question for those with cages

Your builder is probably playing it safe by removing the tank. I'm sure one of the caged guys will chime in.

Playing it safe for his pocketbook maybe.

It'll add 5-6 hours of labor @ over $100 an hour to do a step that isn't necessary.

If he insists, I'll tell him to stop working on it and take it to someone who isn't trying to gouge an extra $500-600 out of me.

It's already over budget and way past the date it was supposed to be done.

All car projects are like this, but I've not bitched even once about how long it's taking (to him) or even the added cost which is now over $400 more than my original quote. I'll not tolerate any more.

I have never heard of them dropping the tank for a cage before. Thats fine if they want to do it, but that should have been in the original quote.
