As long as I have been in business,I am learning something new every day,either at the job sight or now the web sight. I have some really great carpenters working with me, and they constantly help in improving my math skills daily.Hope to hear from you again. STEVE

Hi Steve
Welcome aboard, and buckle up.
Gabe
*HEY YOU TWO, WELCOME!...got any peyote'?
*you can't say that can you?
*Achhh...That stuff's legal up here! The coppers don't know what it is. Majic shrooms taint so bad neither...shall I send ya some Bob.
*LawrenceMethinks he's got more access to the mushrooms in the soggy north-west than you do in "upper beach" Toronto. Barrie is still "upper beach" isn't it?? You can send me some though. . . it's beena lonnng tiiiime.-pm
*LOL...SOTS...last time I was around some folks eatin' those 'schrooms, they were talkin' in a language I couldn't understand! No foolin' man. There were about 10 of 'em and I happened to walk in trying to find a buddy of mine, and they were all talkin' in real high, fast voices that sounded kinda like what I always thought Martian might sound like! And the funniest part is, they DID seem to be communicating (and giggling a lot) and I was the only one who couldn't understand! They were sure havin' themselves a time though. - jb
*Eric, Thanks for the invite, but I think I'll stay here for awhile. At least now I'm not the new guy anymore. Stevenpsouth, welcome from the new guy....the rest of the bunch are really not that crazy...I don't think...Watch out for some guy named "dickey" no one is really sure what he is.You'll find "j" near the stream, and me close to the airconditioner. ( I live in Texas ).Ask any good construction question, and you'll get a lot of different angles.Like Gabe says, Buckle Up...it can be a bumpy ride. Ed. Williams
*Patrick M.You're welcome to stroll though my pastures this fall. Try not to scare the local high school kids if they're respecting my property and closing the gates behind them. The Califonia market is a traditional source of teenage suppamental income around here. JonC
*YB, Peyote, thats a small version of a Coyote... right? Thought you needed a special permit for them.
*JonThanks for the invite. . .. does Ken Kesey live anywhere nearby? I'm not the hero worshipper type but he's somebody I've always wanted to chew the fat with.-pm
*Eric, long time no see. Welcome back.
*Think he lives about 60 miles south in the Eugene area (always on the dead tour). However, I think I can still get you in to the St. Hosp. I used to work at where they filmed "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest". Let you try to get the hydrocontrol unit the big Indian threw through the window over your head. That suckers heavy and I understand the scene took several takes, kinda gives you a new respect for the actor when you see it. Cant believe the grown-ups ever actually let me have the keys to that building.JonC

Thanks for the welcome Ed,in my neck of the woods there aint to much peyote its because most folks here are to busy doing "BUD" stumble. By the way Ed is Lone Star beer still a favorite around your way? what type of construction are you involved in? and how is the building boom going in your part of the country? STEVE.

It's been many moons since I saw the flick but I do believe the actor who played Chief Broom was Canadian Graham Greene, who as it turns out, has had some recent problems with his mental health. . .
i reality imitating art?
I'll pass on the looney bin tour, wouldn't want Nurse Rat-shit to get a holt 'o me. . . thanks anyway ?

*First lesson will be spelling -- some peepul hear are sticklers.
*Steve, Up late tonight...can't sleep. I'm out here so as not to disturb the wife.I think they only sell Lone Star to the tourist. That stuff taste kind of rusty.We do high end residential...there is a lot of that in Dallas.The building here is the BEST I have ever seen it...just waiting for the bottom to fall out ...again. Ed.
*Err Eric, why'd aol close you done?curious,blue

*Hi Eric,It might surprise the buddies to know how many contractors chat on this one. Come and join the brutal games of FHB, instead. There's nothing that relates to construction, that someone here can't answer.Gabe
