Had a situation recently:
Roughed in an addition to an older home that's been added onto three times already. Work included a 100A subpanel being fed from the service which was being upgraded to a 200A. The service was on the opposite end of the house from the addition. Running the cable involved going underneath a previous addition, and when I got to that point noticed that this addition had a poured concrete floor. It was also at this point that I noticed bats hanging from this concrete. I quickly left the crawlspace and notified the owner that the bats would have to be removed before I continued on. I had nothing in my contract to cover this (and was hoping he wouldn't bring it up), but the owner was more than willing to have the bats taken out. I had to wait three days for some type of wildlife specialist from another part of the state come remove them. I'm wondering if any of you have something in your contract that covers this and have you ever had to use it? Its certainly something to think about.
