Re: How have you paid for your shop?

I was born into a construction business and have made my living since 1970 in construction.

Your story so far is typical of a lot of projects. I have learned that when dealing with government and utilities it's best to present your situation with only the necessary information, then listen closely, and ask in the manner the other entity wants it asked.

Once, before cell phones, I needed a phone line run 1/4 mile to job. I went in and asked for phone service to the jobsite. The gal asked how far was it from the nearest phone line, and I told her 1/4 mile. She said she would have to have an engineer come out and measure it and the calculate the exorbitant price.


I said "your kidding, all that just to get a temporary phone?" She says "Oh, you just need a temporary job phone, that won't cost anything?" Go figure.

I'm glad your project is finally moving.

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.
