I'll start it off.

We do 99% all very large commercial sitework projects such as Targets, Walmarts, Home Depots etc.

I am the general foreman/assistant superintendant on my jobs.

I am proficient in all aspects of completing one of these large projects minus the actual buildings. I/we have installed the following items:

Large concrete box culvert
Deep stormceptors
Any storm up to 60" so far
Underground detention systems
Sewer pipe up to 18" DIP
Waterline up to 18" DIP including wet taps/line stops
All types of electrical conduit and boxes
Lights bases both poured in place and precast
Subgrade prep for asphalt/patching asphalt
Curbs & Sidewalks
Pumping and pumping and pumping of ungodly amounts of water (last job we just finished)

Just figured i'd have some of that out there so you know a little more about me. ]]> Little http://www.contractortalk.com/f62/whats-your-areas-expertise-ill-start-68341/ http://www.contractortalk.com/f62/damn-kitty-cat-68259/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:37:08 GMT I was finishing up a septic system today..... Damn cat jumped in ditch with hired man, he shooed it toward the end of the ditch where it found the open end of the lateral.... (I use infiltrator for laterals) Guess where it headed..... All the freakin way to the other end nearly 100' feet away. We wailed on the lateral with sticks and spades, banged away at it with our feet.... The cat was pretty happy to be holed up in there.

I'm not a big fan of cats so my big dilema wasnt about whether the cat lived or died.... My biggest worry was that it would die close to where the effluent entered the lateral, damming it up thereby rendering it useless. Rotten little bastard.... Pulled near all the lateral out before the cat took off like a shot! ]]> Williams Ex Co http://www.contractortalk.com/f62/damn-kitty-cat-68259/ http://www.contractortalk.com/f62/2-copper-water-line-68242/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:14:01 GMT Somebody was telling me about a cool trick to roll out 2" copper, something about making a long box just wider than the pipe diameter and rolling it through that. I guess it keeps it from kinking, I want to ask him about it again but hes at deer camp. Anybody ever done this? ]]> guyute65045 http://www.contractortalk.com/f62/2-copper-water-line-68242/ http://www.contractortalk.com/f62/seattle-area-68237/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:34:25 GMT Hello, Just found this site, sounds very worth while and interesting.
