Construction thread... Show off your work!

damn your a lot faster than I am,, that's a ton of work in 9 hrs.

was a good day everything just worked out perfect. my 2 mates helped me and they have never built a shed before but i tell they was better than half the blokes ive worked with. they just do exactly what i say. we had a good system
 
That is an impressive amount of work for 9hrs.

when ur working for free u try to get it done as quick as possible lol nah my mates mum over the last 17 years has always offered me food and a bed when ever im around so the least i could do for her was this shed

**she got quoted $3700 to have it built and they said 4 days work lol i fuck that i will do it for nothing in 2 days

Man I feel your pain. That fucking concrete is trying to outwork you especially in the heat. It's a battle and if you lose it is a disaster. It is a rush and it gets you going but fuck I have a love hate relationship with concrete

Yea it’s pros and cons. I own my own company. Pros.. you work when you want and how much you want and money is great. Cons.. yep all the bullshit is on you and kissing customers asses and dealing with employees and all there problems become your problems lol. At the end of the day. Me personally I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t work for other people because I usually end up telling them how to do there job better and most don’t like that lol.
