That job in Phoenix where we hit solid rock 8 inches down on every single post hole for a 200-foot run

We had to switch from the auger to a jackhammer attachment, which added 2 full days to the schedule and completely blew the budget, so what's your go-to plan when you hit unexpected rock - do you eat the cost and power through, or stop and renegotiate the contract with the client?

Ever try to price in a rock clause upfront? Spencer_park26's story is exactly why I always do now.
