Ahhhhhh..........the sound of the purse strings opening up.

Every time one more starts,more guys get to work,more people start to see activity,more see the economy is starting to move.................


Good to hear.
Get some rest,its going to be COLD out there.
Yeah I know that's what I hate about winter.. But I've been subbing on a crew so haven't been out of work so I'm semi used to it
I just started Tuesday on mine. Have been waiting awhile but kept busy in the meantime.

Congrats. Are you taking pics and posting here?
its nothing to special but ill take a few we worked untill it was too dark for the iphone today. We got all our plates ran, put up foam board in the crawl and got about 3/4 of our steel set. I guess its ok for three guys

where are the pics i was looking forward to them
Steel girders instead of post and beam or ponies. That sorta cool. Lot less movement. Is that common there? What size are the beams?
looks like spruce to me, looks like a lot of fun there i have one coming up myself in about a month. Those beams couldnt be anymore than w8x20's just by looking at the pic but i am prolly wrong :) looks nice, straight go. Keep them pics rollin
