Not all contractors are like you Tim. I've seen your work. You are a professional. I only wish that you were closer. These guys are a bunch of lames. They show up for 2 hours or they don't show up at all. They say a week to do the job and a month later it's half done. It's wearing me out. I just want to move into my house. But look at it. How the hell am I going to move in. It's a mess. But. It will be nice when it's done. It better be.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That has to be frustrating. It's true, I am a professional. I never give people the impression the job will get done quickly and I always come through as expected . They know I'll get there when I get there and I always get there. Now that's true commitment! I have a swap meet to set up on Thursday. Got a call late last week to make some modifications on a handicap entry I did last May. The guy isn't recovering so well. It's an ASAP job and that means get it done by Wed. On my way back from a visit to my sister in VA last night I had to call them since they hadn't called me to finalize the agreed plan I had given them two options for. I hadn't heard back all weekend.
The guy, lives alone, broke his leg and I had to build the ramp before he came home from PT. Now he is having trouble stepping up into the house, so I'm building a slope to the doorsill over the concrete from what I built last year. His son, who worked for me years ago, is coordinating all this from Texas I guess I never got "completed" pictures. I'll get some tomorrow before I start. Can't start today because I want to get a day in on the job already going this week, and let her know what's up with the rest of the week face to face. I hope I have time on Wed. to pack for the swap meet!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
It is...Or was. I unloaded my secret weapon them... My wife.
She's a lot tougher than I am. She tore the foreman up one side and down the other. She doesn't put up with any nonsense or excuses. I know because I've tried both and it doesn't work. They put in a long day today and worked until dark. A lot got done. When all else fails call in Mama. Mama don't take no mess.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
You don't have to tell me. I've been on the receiving end of that one myself more times than I care to remember.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Ha, I don't around her.
I've been married to her for 48 years and I have learned the boundaries. A man's got to know his limitations.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I've gained many customers by just being honest. Do what you say your going to do. The trick is hiring workers that are dependable. Because when they don't show up I am a liar. This is why I don't tolerate people who aren't dependable.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Been cleaning out old toys from my sons and grand kids. Most went to new homes. Kept a few for my grandsons “collection” of his dads old stuff. I told myself I don’t need any more more, but … I kept these.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I don't care for the Hot Wheels with advertising, like that '62 C10 with Trix cereal all over it. But I envisioned something better since they did come with nice Real Rider wheels/tires. I went with the era look with the whitewalls on mags and made my own customs. The blue one has a metallic blue interior and is closer to stock. The metallic green one is mild custom with chrome grille and white interior. Not super detailed adult customs. More like how Hot Wheels might have done them, but without the chrome bed interior and chassis
