That ceiling looks amazing..Great Job!! :Thumbs:
Fired the dumbazz that you guys may have remembered I was telling you about a while back.
This morning went to rehab for the knee while my brother and a new helper went over to start a bathroom gut on 2nd story of old rickety house, plumber ws supposed to be there right at 8 to cap off water supply lines since there were no shut offs. 8:30 brother called said floor was completely rottten (which I knew) and plumber had found lead pipe so entire floor needed to be pulled to redo waste lines and there was no way toilet could be reinstalled today given time restraint since all plumber had scheduled here ws capping off lines and no more. Talked with homies and I agree to split cost of prta potty if we could leave toilet off for the 1 week rental period so we did'nt have to keep pulling it to work around stuff and frame in stub walls.
Went to sign contract for deck we're building 2 blocks from this bathroom project-homeowner asked me to stick around since he was B-B-Qing ribs...so I did and they were great!!, then took material back from preivious 2 jobs and bought more for current bathroom job. Dropped off bill for bathroom we just finihsed yesterday. Went back to bathroom we're gutting to check progress-slow as hell as usual since I'm not doing myself!! Lined up electrician to get the rough in done first part of next week (got lucky as they had romex already and not knob and tube), ordered new linolium for this bathroom, then started the hunt for a 4'6" bathtub and surround. Nobody carries fiberglass, 1 center had a cast iron unit but would require the use of the cheezy 1/8" thick fiberglass 5 peice surround which I refuse to use. custom ordered units take 2 weeks so plumber is checking to see if his place can get a tub/3 peice surround quicker. the stair way going to upstairs is only 32" wide and kitchen cabinets stick 1/4 of the way into stair area so just getting yourself up there is a major PITA, much less this new tub (1 peice surround is not an option), all the drywall will have to be cut in half to try and make the tight bend so we'll be tapping joints like crazy
Took wife and kid to downtown event, food was seriously overpriced as well as rides for the kids. Then went back to check status of bathroom gut so plumber can just walk in tomorrow and get his part done, 8 pm still no guys back with my truck, nobody answering the cell phones, finally 8:30 brother rolls up and I come unglued thinking they've still benn gutting this GDamn bathroom for 12hrs

, but said they were dont as 6pm and were giving out business cards and talking to some folks visiting the "new" helpers house when brother dropped new guy off. Still got in his ass about being slow and told him to start stepping up the pace....helpers/workers suck azz is all I can say...wish I was in a position to fire everybody and go back at it alone to start making some money again!! I'm losing patience in a hurry since I know how long every aspect takes me to do and it takes them twice as long if not 3x's as long!!!
Tonight confirmed 2 other jobs, called to try and get some of my tools back lent out 2 months ago i will be needing soon, cant get ahold of other fella with my extension ladders, sent out 3 more estimate...and here it is midnight and I'm still awake typing on here LOL!!
