Hi all, it's been one of those weeks?

My week consisted of working with a 96 year old woman and her boob son who hired a contractor, paid him $60k, he lifted thier 150 year old house, removed the existing foundation, built a new foundation that couldn't support it's own weight and placed the house on the new foundation.  He was also paid for a heating system he didn't install.  He was paid for a lot of work he didn't preform.  None of the work he did met code.  In fact none of the work he did lasted more than 8 months!

They now have hired a new contractor.  It's costing them $90K to repair the damages. 


It's been a fun week.       [bang]

Is that really funny...

or would you like to do it?

I'm gonna start looking for a new job. My boss is slowly killing the business, and I hope to have something lined up before it assumes room temp.

The local cycle gear has a manager position listed, so I filled out the online application.

This is a family board right?  I had to leave out the other things about ONLY tipping hot waitresses...

I figure i'll take as much out of the businsess as I can until I find something else. I just dont want to end up jobless when the guy actually kills the business.

Hi T.  We've seen costs between $50k to $180k.  There are so many factors to consider.  The condition of the existing home, the condition of the existing utilities and the foot print of first floor play a major role in the cost.  The only way to find out is to speak to a contractor.

Hi Frank,

Thanks.  [beer]
I guess Nate is right. We'll wait and see if it falls down then turn the barn into a house. :)

I bet that's a good time.

I ate and drank a ton while I was away and walked so much at the show and in town that I lost 2 pounds and can now get to the fourth notch on my belt

WTF?!
