Just Bid on the First New Plans in 2 Years! - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

I used to mostly trim new homes... back when they still built those. Was given blueprints for a new home this week... it has been 2 years since I bid on another set of plans. Don't want to get too excited, as I might not get the work, but it was nice to be asked to bid.

It is interior trim and the coolest part of the job would be building arched timber trusses.

Cheers,

Bass

That's good news Bass. By the looks of the scope of work,(timber trusses) you should be a shoe in.

Just show the GC your shelf brackets in your trailer.

I hope you get it and at a price to make it worth all your skill to pull it off. They should be glad to get you.

Have them give me a call, I'll straighten them out for ya if they need a nudge.
