A thank you gift to a construction crew?

[eblend]

Hi guys,

So the guys building my house have been busting balls in this crazy 30+ heat every day, and I want to treat them somehow. I will be out on site tomorrow all day doing other things, and it's a great opportunity for me to somehow say thanks. Looking for some ideas.

I was thinking Coffee/Donuts in the morning....or maybe pickup some cold beers in the afternoon (not sure about alcohol..).

Given that it's hot as balls, something cold might be nice, but I have no power or cooler out there, so whatever is bought can't just melt. Looking for some ideas. I really don't know anything about these guys, what they like or don't, so something generic is probably best. It's usually two guys in their late 40s, and sometimes one of their sons and another younger guy, but lately it's just the two older gentlemen.

I figured that would be the first response haha

I’d get a Trackhawk for each guy.

Don't take alcohol. Period.

Take a cooler of cold drinks. If you're going in the morning tell them lunch is on you and order from wherever.

Booze will be a bad time when someone falls off a ladder and breaks their back (regardless of whether they were drunk or not).

Cooler of cold drinks and lunch like Cool-Lude said.

[msommers]

Lunch is a good call. Peppinos would be easy enough for you

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Food, donuts, coffee, iced caps, gift cards

Dear E blend, how did you become so rich

[ExtraSlow]

Cold drinks and good quality sandwiches around lunchtime and enough ice and more cold drinks to keep then hydrated for the afternoon.

This. And keep it light.

But the cooler full of cold drinks is the big one. And don't half ass it, have those bitches chilled over night before throwing them in a cooler full of ice.

This or give them a case of beer at the end of the day.

Thanks guys. A few mentioned cool drinks, so gonna go and grab a bunch of variety of stuff tonight, get them cold in the fridge overnight, and then flood it with freshly bought ice in the morning and pickup some donuts as well. As I have to head out early in the afternoon for a bit, I will grab some beers and give them to the guys at the end of the day. The intention with alcohol was always to be end of day, sorry I should have been more clear. Don't need them drunk while building my house, or getting hurt

[pheoxs]

Yeah don't bring drinks during the day. Even if they save them for later, you never know if someone from the office shows up and sees a case of beer they could get in shit.

I'd say cooler full of some gatorade / powerade and other cold drinks would be best. Maybe a pizza or two if its near lunch time.

Nothing like some beers for the drive home.

Dry tuggies, with intense eye contact.

You have no idea how many times the case of beer for "after work" from a client gets dummied by 2 guys before they leave the site. It's an unnecessary gamble of a liability risk, albeit a nice gesture. If you want to do that, give them a GC to a liquor store instead.

[msommers]

Exactly. There's a reason everyone gets cab vouchers for company events vs. "find your own way home." Liability is huge.
