Borat's X-mas List
1. All the boys show up everyday on time, and not high.
2. The builder finds a concrete guy that has a laser and knows how to use it. 3. The lumber mill figures out that all studs are something foot 8 and 5/8 inches. 4. All dimentional lumber above a 2 X 6 is the same width. 5.Someone kills the guy that invented ACQ treated lumber, and he's the only guy who can make it. 6. Santa stops at the OSB factory and resquares thier mold, so a 4 X 8 sheet is square. 7. Tyvek is the only company that makes a decent housewrap, and not these plastic imatators. 8. Architects actually stamp thier plans , BUILD AS DRAWN WE ARE RESPONSIBLE!!!! 9. Builders actually say yes, this house is worth 9.50 per foot. 10. A framing inspector has actually had to frame to be qualified. 11. The plumber comes out and lays out floor joists so we miss his pipes. 12.The const. lam. people all die and leave us thier formula for what they make? 13. The builder shows up on thursay with a check, saying you have 2000 more coming than what you put in for. Just my list, feel free to add, or comment. Merry X-mas to all, and I wish you all a good year. This is a pretty good forum. |

Re: Borat's X-mas List
To (Talk like AAAHnald) "TERMINATE" all the people that say, "Oh you have the job". Then when you call to set up the appointment to sign the contract they say, "Oh, I have another guy coming to give me an estimate!"
