Re: Now This Has Gone Too Far!!!

Seattle area! Local city. Detached garage burns 90% of the way down to the foundation. Need a permit to demolish the rest of the garage so it can be rebuilt back to the way it was. Additional permit needed to rebuild back to the way it was using the original prints.
In this jurisdiction I think you need a permit to us TP in a folded manner, another to use it crumpled, another for front to back and vice versa!
Your money hard at work.

Re: PIECE WORKERS in the Construction Trades

I was working with my son on the wife's car yesterday and was pleased that he, with a degree in poli-sci, still knew how to work a spring compressor. Passed on from father to son. He then told me he was buying a house and needed help on the remodeling of same. Adding a second story. Passed on from father to son. In this day and age of instant communications and specialization, it is comforting to know how we got here and how to live self-sufficiently.
