Oh oh oh.... you need convincing.

That looks like the perfect way to spend a weekend, making money.

Unless this is for your own place, then you need a nap first.

It worked!? OK...

Glad I could help. Now convince me I want to get out of my comfortable recliner and go to the shop and gather some things to bring out to a clients house to build a custom mail box.

Just pretend the Sheriff is standing on your front lawn.

Or just stay in. I would.

I'm pretending to wave to the Sheriff. He seems like a nice guy. I'd invite him in for a drink, but he's really not there......

Fun, took plenty of them cast iron ****ers out in pieces

Funny aside - a few years back we were demoing a house interior for a full gut, I come by and I see one of my younger lads banging on a tub with a wood handled sledge. I took the sledge with one hand - and tossed it in the back of my pick up and handed him my fiberglass handled sledge. Chits unsafe.

He goes back to banging incessantly while I'm talking to the lead and I get irritated, I say when get through titty wacking hit the MF on the side like you mean it

Bang. Bang. Bang. Nothing.

I walk over with a smirk, take the sledge and swing full power into the side of the tub, and I'm a big boy. Dented the **** out of it. No break... wtf... I swing overhead about a dozen times so hard my feet come off the floor on the edge of the tub trying to fracture the cast iron. It dented in so far that it tore a hole but it didn't break. I keep banging.

My dad happens by to drop a roll off and said Son! That's a steel tub dumby!!

What? It's cast iron!

No! It's steel!

They make steel tubs??

They did!!

Well ****, I didn't know that.

He said thats because your a damn rookie. 🤣

That always drives me nuts.

I've had exactly one person hire me to build a composite deck. 99% around here are PT.

First load the board were stained and discolored.

Takes a week to get the second load and they were even worse.

Distributer decided to upgrade the homeowners to a higher quality in order to find nice boards.

Still cost me 3 weeks.

Foundation makeup finished today, inspections by City, Engineer, and Architect. Pour starts at 5:30am tomorrow, I am there then relieved by my PM at 7:30am. I have engaged an off duty Houston Police officer to be on the street to direct traffic and keep neighbors in check (just in case). We are a few houses from Houston Country Club entrance. Three bales of hay on the job to retard evaporation and slow curing.
