Like most contractors around here this guy had several things going at once all closer to his shop . It amounted to demo took place two months before anyone started the rebuild . then toward the end of things he tried to hire local guys to do some of stuff . I drive up and bust them blowing dope on the front steps . This kept up with different crews until a husband and wife team showed up . They were slow but lots better . You could turn you back on them and not worry. We were nearing a year and with the rental house being sold out from under us and the years worth of problems we finally reached a point I could finish things . Lacked 3 days of being a full year . Kind of a mutual agreement he was done and we needed back in .

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I hope my son decides to quit. I wish he never started. He didn't start from seeing me smoke. Never did it. He started when his mom left. At least he's a moderate smoker.
The barn on the place where I'm repairing the summer kitchen. I'm not sure I've ever seen a bank barn with the cantilever on the side

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Sounds like a bad situation. If he decides which job has priority based on how far and is busy, what was he thinking taking on a house fire restoration farther away? Sounds like a family being displaced by tragedy didn't play into his figuring. Only about the money.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That looks about right Mark except for the blood. Head wounds bleed like crazy.
When I got hit it didn't even hurt. Then my girlfriend started screaming. And then I realized that blood was pouring out of my head. And I thought "This is a problem'. I was a bloody mess when they got me to the ER. And they shaved a big patch of my hair to stitch me back up. I forget how many stitches but it was a bunch. But I looked weird with this big patch of hair missing and the Frankenstein stitches on my noggin'. The weirdest thing about that was that I had a massive bruise on my left arm. On both sides of my arm. Like it went clear through. I hadn't fallen or anything. But I couldn't straighten my arm for about a year.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's how gov't allotment works down here, too. They scramble to spend surplus money once the final quarter comes up, once the bulk of the year is behind with surplus funds left. What shape was the old roof in? Could be they know a building is only as good as it's roof and, although they closed the school, they want to save the building for other purposes or to sell.
They want to close down the elementary school in the town my mom lives in due to shrinking student body. I remember when they built that school. There are only two jr/sr high schools in that county. I guess the elementary school kids will get used to a long bus ride before jr. high

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's how it works in the private sector too. Management was a bunch of skinflints all year but then at the end of the year if you were coming in under budget they'd tell you to order all kinds of stuff otherwise the budget would get cut next year.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I have this random poster in my hallway. A guy that I knew was the singer. He died at 39 of brain cancer. Too bad. He was a nice guy.

Heritage is easy to preserve. It's the buildings that take work

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Raining so I pulled an old Hershey sale box my Dad had tucked away . 72 Ford t bird gran torino rear side markers , 65 mustang bumper guards 70 -74 AMX /Javalin rear side marker also fits Avanti II ,62 ford Galaxy 500 backup light kit . Also in the box was a red plate 55 amp Alternator for my AMX . All NOS need to get an idea of what the ford stuff is worth and a place to sell them .
There was also NOS MB 280SL rotors and calipers still in the box’s . Dad must have bought them when he had the 250 and 280 SLs
