Should I bid or not?

Sorry about the spelling didn't upload all the way this is a business that has these but under the huts is koi fish pond. Can any one help on this one.

The only way would be if the homeowner temporarily removed KOI, and have him work with a koi pond expert to make sure water is okay before putting them back. I would probably pass unless total job $+7K or not worth liability.

Walk away but let him know why.

I agree with both of the answers!

Run from koi. There are horror stories available.

I love that restaurant. All you can eat crab was awesome. They are famous for those koi, don't touch it. Like Hank said, let the know why. They will appreciate it and remember your professionalism.

Don't do it Chris, Some of those Koi's can be a $1000 a piece. Not to mention the Ulua's they have there. Even if they transfer the fish you will contaminate the whole system and it will have to be drained, rinsed, refilled and tested. There is not enough money there to take that risk. Besides that, it's wood shake so you wont be dealing with just standard roof mix.

It may be better to just re-roof the huts

That what I was thinking.

I suggested that to the owner and politely walked away. I think he was just trying to save a buck but better to get that new roof could of been a disaster. Thanks guys
