nick i bet those roofs come out straight as a whip huh?! everbodys drunk and wasted. hopefully you snap your lines before they get all high and ****. by the sounds i bet they dont snap any lines just throat 'em huh. i bet their reputation is awesome too! "we do it nice cuz we do it twice" hahaha actually i dont think its funny at all nor does it even sound cool. we have beer in the shop but we dont let them drink untill we get back. i like knowin our **** is straight, square and level not to mention SAFE!then we can have a sudsy.
Im all for younger guys wanting to learn a trade but ONLY if they want to learn not cuz your gonna get a "sweet tan" and get "ripped" hahaha which really cracks me up but now is a bad time for anyone in construction, we had to cut way way back. its down to me my brothers my father and two guys and we do everything from excavatioin to foundations (which is my crew) and we build log and timber frame houses too and it takes all three to keep everyone busy. i actually havnt worked for three days now and it sucks. but it isnt fair for me to go over on the framming crew and bump one of the guys who works for us out of the mix just cuz i want to work, he needs to work to ya know.
if you like being able to walk w/ out your knees feeling like you have gravel under your kneecap and you like to draw you bow w/ out your shoulders crackin and you like to be able to bend over and tie your shoes i would stay FAR FAR FAR away from concrete. im not that bad yet but my ol man is and my grandfather was but if you like pain, blood and extremely hard sweatywork then its just the game for you! oh plus you can get "ripped" like nick haha
hntgrl is right though man its a bad bad time to be in business for yourself. right now we are luck to give the guys 50 hrs a week im down to friggin 30! like right now for christ sakes im balancing the check book wtf thats my moms job! shes the damn secretary! good luck w/ you job search man i think i might hang up my hammer and go be an ice raod trucker haha
Are you taking shots at me? Because I don't appreciate it. Don't judge me because my
EX-CREW was retarded! I have been doing contruction, and we build very nice spec houses, and remodel. Our work is very respectable, and the best around. We have a crew of 8 people. You do not know my work, so dont judge me.
