Bidding Next Thurday

SLSTech

I would look for Reclaimed Lumber - you get the old growth, brownie points, etc... It will cost more but it will last longer than the crap sold today

Just my .02

That's a good option too. I have to bid it as is first and the offer these options later. The Architect asked what I thought the cost increase would be for upgrading and I told him about 10% of the total cost because most of the cost would be in the Artisan work and not the materials. He thought it was doable.

Yes, yes, yes.
Tell 'em that is, as is.
It's old growth now,
and that's what you need
to replace it with.


Good deal for you.
Hope you get it.

Vandykes sells those cost around 30 bucks a piece.

I could have that done in 2-3 days. Give me and Joasis a week and we could build the whole thing from scratch

I'd Request Neolitic to be our project manager though, seems he worked on a few of those buildings

Merging of threads sorry guys.

You, Joasis, and Neo can come one out if I get it. Bring your catalog, we'll make a killing!

Didn't get it, oh well. I have two other Historical projects to bid over the next month.

You should have taken the Vandykes catalog with you

No doubt! The time line on the whole block was 4 months! After that you start paying them $100 per day. Not to mention it's Davis Beacon wages. Go a little past due on that one and you're screwed.

I don't need another pressure cooker right now
