Group that poured our foundations were good, Awesome Level No shims needed, spoke with contractors of needs and what was expected. Also spoke with me on what was going on, how they were going to do, nit-picky!! but also NOT cheap not really expensive either.

So guess who got chosen for a random DOT? That way I can get told by myself to go take a totally random drug test, to prove to my employer that me myself and I aren't using. Anyways, the clinic had a locked door, phone them from the parking lot and they come open the door. And I'm mentioning all this (by the way I passed the test) because of the amazing flourescent light installation in their ceiling. And I thought I was the only one that half a$$ed stuff.

And while we are talking about recent fails- not me the light installation- I passed- I passed - I passed..

I installed a irrigation pump the other day, they got it wired up about 15 minutes after I left- no worky.

They ordered a second new pump. and had me back to pull it. After a little testing, discovered a wire pulled from the crimp and heat shrink, it looked good from the outside.

My July 3 job- moving a old trailer. They asked "are you working?" I asked- "are the tires up and are the brakes released, and are we not going on the road?"

I told the truth and went to work, they lied about the tires and the brakes. I moved the better of the two old trailers, I'm not sure the other one will take being hooked onto.

How many times did you have to move the crane on the 85 foot arch job? That gas station sign doesnt look like its gonna survive one of your big wind storms. The cheesey looking riding arena might not either.

Once the fabric goes on and the Magic Spray on sealant gets set they are good structures, until Baseball sized hail storms.
