last saturday morning my new house looked like this:
shavings.netMC Home.jpgOpen ↗ a slab, a pile
of lumber and my ride.

Well, every night since then I have made it a habit to
stop by the job site at 3:45, to check up on my workers,
and the quality of their work but... and I also bring
along a cooler packed with ice and a case or two of
BEvERages to show them the boss-man is not a _complete_
@ssh*le (I'm my own G.C. and I'm subbing most of the
labor ;-)

Well, as of 6:00 tonight she stands tall and pretty:

All ready for the Code Inspectors to come in and sign off
on the framing tomorrow) and then the roofers to come lay
the felt and shingles, while the masons to start the brick
work, and I hang the doors and windows. And then by next
monday we are ready for the painfully slow part of the
process plumbing, electrical and HVAC subs can come in.
Need to remember to schedule them so they are not tripping
over each

other......

end.

3 days for that much? no offence, but my fathers company can
do that in 1 or 2 with just 2 people in the entire
corporation.

though... I'm sure there may be a lot more codes to pass,
and inspectors to wait for in that area too.

Frame a house in a day? Is it square? Speed isn't everything
in construction. Good craftsmanship can take a little
longer, and I'd better MPD Blue would choose workmanship
over speed any day.

I thank you for such wonderful comments about my fathers
work. and yes, they are square, and quite good. he just
found a number of time saving techniques. that's why he has
been right out straight for the past few years. very good
customer references. needs only word of mouth advertisement.

Indeed. I can design a bike in CAD for you in a day. Sure
thing, not a problem. I sure as hell wouldn't ride it
though....

Must be why they had to have the cable and internet
connection shut off last year..... to busy making all that
money to stop and pay the bills?

Let me get this straight, you cannot find or hold a regular
job and your father has his own company and you don't work
for him? That's all I need to know.
