I just got a 6500 sq ft house. This will be the biggest house i have ever done. I have done commercial work this big but never a house. Its crazy big. Brand new construction. I got the drywall, paint and trim. Gonna be a nice one!!

Sweet! :thumbup:

This is a win for ALL of us who ever wished we could get something like this only to be beat out by someone else who ultimately screws up the job and makes it harder for the rest of us to land such a deal.

The bigger the house the bigger the fvckups, in a few months you will be crying for 3x 2500 sqare footers instead. :laughing:

I worked on a few over 10K...got a 12K one right now and the quantity of wires looks like a rack room at Nortel.

yeah i lucked out with this one. Ive been working but until this job i wasnt booked very far out. Pretty much just 1 or 2 small jobs ahead. A lot of the jobs of been landing this year are very small. But as long as im working guess i cant complain too much. Tomarrows big project. 10 sheets of drywall, hang and finish, LOL i hope i can handle it.

more proof that big house constructin is still going on.

ive framed a few. also did a major addition to a house that was 1500 sq ft and turned it into a 6000 sq ft frame to finish. fun job but took 7 or 8 months and went way over budget
