What happens here

Upon arriving at the job site, the creator points out a chimney that the client requested to be taken down as a favor. He explicitly states that this task is 'not in our bid' and 'not in our scope of work.' He highlights the potential risks, such as the chimney hitting the house if it falls incorrectly. The objective is to help the client but ensure the demolition contractor is not held responsible for any damage.

Appreciate that. On this job, we're actually set up to do an excavation project along with a small soil correction and potentially some frost ripping.
