Lol mine doesn't give a fuck at all. She just wants progress.

That suspended slab was fun......bomb proofing a U.S embassy over a live track with trains full of people. No nerves at all haha!

its funny when we pour suspended decks they have made a rule that we cant walk under the deck thats being poured for safety reasons.. i always argue if we can walk under it why are we allowed to walk on top of it?? they can never give me a straight answer either lol as they knw either way if she goes we are fucked no matter where we stand

I bet you there is an insurance premium break if they follow certain guidelines.

Couple cool items we uncovered at work. Both artifacts were uncovered roughly under 80’ of earth.

We believe this first picture to possibly be a fish rib bone as the job site is a around 20 miles from the ocean.

Same as it ever was. Closing out an aeronautical building at a local college. I call it the Harry Potter building. nothing too fancy for technology, cool building though. It's all slate and copper on the outside, neat look.

Also, a decent benchmark has been reached. I hit 11 years with my firm, that's basically 20% of a working career.

thanks dude.

I'd compare it to a marriage. Not everyday is sunshine and roses, but we are better together than not. I'm not disappointed in any way.

Not much left. Getting started on the walls soon.

Made tool to space the washers evenly on the rigid board out of a wood float. Center line is the seem in between board other 2 are 6 inches on either side. The plan is to mark the boards at 48 and 6 on both ends, then use this to space everything evenly.

[kap73]
