Hey Hey - save room for me!!

Camaro party at Chris's house. Attachment 240793

:emoticon12: Did someone say Camaro party..

:bellyroll:

Bring the rest of the L99 gang. We'll make a converter out of him. lol

Chris,

Awesome start to the house... Cant wait to see it progress...

Someone mentioned having a build manager that he loved and then lost when the company changed directions...

We had a fresh out of college kid that managed building my house, and in addition to teaching him a huge deal, I had to fight with him most of the way... He didn't know what an underlay sink was, and they originally put my kitchen plumbing in the dining room... I told them about it and showed this kid the plans.. He said they would take care of it.... They did, they poured concrete... I had carpet in the house before they finally got it fixed....

Good Luck with your home build... and keep PQ away until you're done... He'll break something or shoot himself with a nail gun if you allow him on the premises, and then you'll be held responsible...

PQ, Whats this...???:iono:
GTA, Nail Gun:yikes:
"POW.... oooops....":rolleyes:
GTA, Randy, would you quit walking in circles... :mad0260:
PQ, I would, but I nailed my left foot to the floor.... :cry::help:

GTA, :facepalm:

:wave: Sweet project Chris! Can't wait to see the finished product. :popcorn:

Lookin good chris!

:party0048:


:laugh:

I'm very lucky, The Super I have is "F'n" awesome he's already caught a couple things that I would have missed... and he's going to bring me in after each inspection to "freelance" some stuff. like running low voltage wiring, extra insulation, and some electrical wire... And the kid he has for an apprentice is a good kid. Eager to learn doesn't have a know it all attitude. Since I'm pretty easy to work with the super asked me if I would be willing to work directly with the apprentice on some smaller things... I gave him a sideways look, Chris the young kid was standing right there, and I said, "I don't know... he's been checking out my wife's butt... At least teach him to hide it a little better..." The super said, "He's such a rookie"

We all had a good laugh and Chris took it on the chin, and made it clear he wasn't looking at her butt... "I said, well it was either hers or mine... so which was it. "

:laugh:

Of course the super kept telling him, "you better give the man an answer..."

:D

He'll be fine...

Thanks! Can't wait.

Or make a converter... For him.

3200 stall should work fine... if he wants to go fast that is...:rolleyes:
:bellyroll:

:laugh::sm0::bellyroll:

I thought we already did...:iono:
:word:I think he has one of those slow LS3's

has he tried the fuse pull? I heard it adds like 60 hp at the wheels

:D

Delivered the floor joists and ceiling trusses. Concrete should be poured today.

Looks good I bet by 6am Wednesday you will have Concrete trucks unloading onto your slab if you plan to go watch it ask them to test the concrete (lots of finishers love to wet the mud up esp here in Florida). Your 1st truck should be tight a 2-3" slump for the footers and a 4-5max slump for the slab.

Remember Admiral Yamamotos response to their attack on Pearl Harbor? :yikes:

:sm0:

:facepalm: We have all been there.

You did good. He'll remember it for a long time.

I'd have given him an out. I'm a softy. Maybe something like, "Hell you better have been, or you were looking at mine." :laugh:

:bellyroll: :bellyroll: :bellyroll:

In case you're still pissed about that whole 4 thousand mile road trip thing, I'll visit AFTER the concrete is poured.

Chris Best word of advice ( that you wont follow because I didnt :laugh: )
Don't return until the first walk through.

My First walk through on my home is a Week from today ( Wednesday )
We started in February and ending around 1st of June all I can say is
BREATH and enjoy the fresh air while it last :laugh:

I'm betting concrete is already done by now.

I'm stopping by every day when I can. Trying to shake hands with all the guys I can. Just seems like the right thing to do since they are doing the work to get me my new home.

This is the second home we've built... Unfortunately budget kept us from building the house we really wanted but the next house, whenever that is, will be exactly what we want.

These guys move pretty quick So I should have the majority of the walls up by end of week.

:D

I'd love to build a new house. Must be pretty cool to watch.

The worst past is the wait I hated to wait and watch our 1st house being built back in 2004 I am glad we decided to buy the model home in our subdivision my next house will be buint on 3-5 acres and all I will really care about is the shop :)

Sean

^ This! :D

Yeah after the slab was poured on my home a week and a half later and we had a roof and shingles :laugh: Then it slowed down after that.

always good to get her weathered in incase Rain hits.

My house is on 11 acres and all I want is a shop!

If I do get a chance to build a shop, I'll have a house built next to it. :bellyroll:
