Well I'm doing an engraving job with the shark and barracuda for some steps ADA compliance. Engraving a 2 inch wide strip 1 inch from edge of step. 200 lineal feet. The prime contractor that hired me to do the work will stain it. Also the permits should be in on Mon or Tues so looks like I'll be back at the pool demo on Wed. Looks like I'll be pouring concrete on Tues and maybe taking some water based sealer off a stamped concrete a customer had a friend of theirs that tried to seal it. Turned murky white and streaky they said. So I'll probably try to look at that tomorrow or Monday and tomorrow (Sunday) try to go look at 2 estimates. Calls have been coming in as of late it seems. I hope it does'nt stop. Anyhow just hoping I can juggle it all and get it all so I can catch up on everything. Thanks for the prayers, support, and well wishes. Whatever your all doing seems to be working. I've been doing my share of praying as well. To top it all off as well, yesterday I had my compressor go out and two weeks ago my pressure washer went out. Either I need to do more maintenance on them or the poor things went into shock in not being used for so long. Oh well, will fix when I get some money. Meanwhile the safest thing to do is rent as I need. But I will also investigate what it will cost to fix.

I don't live in town anymore but they tax you for rain water run off
as well as a sewer tax , which in some areas the storm and sewer
system is the same. Soon they will charge for air that we breath.
Where are the ball outs for the people that do all the paying of taxes.

Well today was the last day of all the demolition I was doing. It was a nice rest. During that time we also had some rain so I got to do some estimates as well. I put out 7 estimates and waiting to put out another 2. Something has to come through hopefully. Plus I am going to check on a job on Monday about a Demolition Foreman for a downtown project. Plus going to follow up on some possible re-seals on past projects. That's where I'm at.

Seems like you're busy Alex. You're doing plenty of estimates and you know that it's a numbers game. You're bound to hit a live one. It's the law of averages...so don't go breakin' the law! |

Busy trying is about all. But we are hoping that , like you said, something will bite. Went to look at another job last night and we'll see on that one. The lady is talking like if the job is already mine but, we'll see. Plus this would be done in stages. She has some saved and the rest coming in April with her tax return. Hopefully some of these people wise up and see that they are getting some good deals and get going. Anyhow will be in touch.
