   *Hey, calvin! You came to mind when my new unabridged 86th edition of Websters was delivered last week. Is this too much like work or am I asking an "illegal" question? I have to do a Project 2000 schedule for a class. Rather than play around with cheesey, academic scenarios, I thought I'd ask you guys who know the score. The planning and the scheduling is only as good as it reflects real world considerations. I'd post the results if anyone was interested. Take care.

   *This reminds me of a saying a guy I used to work with said. "I may not know much, but I know what's next." One problem with your question, Jennings, is that it depends on what type of construction you are doing - for instance, if that was a slab foundation, you would need to do your underground plumbing after excavating the footings, before placing the slab. What may work better for you on this post is to take a crack at a construction sequence for a hypothetical house (describe the house construction) and ask for comments from the group. You do some work first, maybe folks would be willing to fill in a couple of blanks or help you where you have questions. Just a thought.Good luck!Sami

   *Sami, Thanks for the suggestion...will do. I need a couple days to get something together that shows some thought on my part. I'll let this post die and do a new one...slab on grade.

   *I thank you Jennings for your cunning memory. And I was not joking around. You'd better have the first part done, or all your figuring will go for naught. And include in your scenario the site conditions as if you were driving by. If you're planning an attack, sound conoitering is a must. Find that one in there? Best of luck.

   Anybody interested in collectively hammering out a sequence of events
   for residential construction? 1. Survey and/or soils test, 2. Grading and Staking, 3. Excavate footings, 4. Foundation formwork and steel, 5. Pour foundation...
