New England B.S. Thread

Eh....I was thinking more along the lines of a 307 or 309/310 Cat

 

Ok is it just in my shop or does everyone else have these mallenials with this I'm too cool for anything attitudes and the world owes me everything?!?
I'd say about 80% of these new kids are like this, I mean I can't even get a good morning out of them!

 

^^^^^^^^^

Grumpy old man alert



And yes, they do.

 

I checked 3-4 sources for rain in the forecast. Nothing.

Popped the tent at work to air it out... it's fucking raining. Now I have to do it again tomorrow.

 

I mean I deff do . It is the dress code for us.

 

only when I have to deal with these kids.

 

Weather=the only job you don't get fired for screwing up day after day.

 

Yea we have one in my shop as well

 

As a student with substantial debt (150+ just coming out of school) and a serious GF with similar debt, I feel your pain. But if we’re talking about the hit of 900 million last night, I think that covers our debts and retirement is still comfortable haha. I also hope you went into debt for a good outcome. I had a past advisor say that if you make half of what you owe in the first year of work, you’re in good shape. IE i have 150 in debt roughly, I should make 75+ to start at my job and I will be safe.

 

I've been working one way or another since 1976 or so. No mortgage or any other debt for a while now.
I'm so ready to pull the rip cord in a couple of years. A nice bump with a small lottery win would just make things happen a little quicker.

 

New shed, house is coming along nice.

 

waiting on my shed to rot away or for a tree to land on it so i can get a new larger one lol

 

Awesome!!! You gonna throw a TW party when you're all settled in?

 

So I've been meaning to ask, what's with all of the sticky-out bits?

 

Maybe to get the foundation below the frost line? Just guessing.

 

Go Sox !!!

 

Definitely not making half of what I owe but I make enough to have some spending money to fuck around from time to time haha. Word on the street I get a fairly legit raise when I change employment status next year in my 3rd year...I'll believe it when it happens. Paying for a wedding in december isn't helping me at the moment.

 

No, those are the footings. I mean the shape of the foundation itself; it looks like he played sloppy tetris and slapped it on a blueprint.

 

Precast pilings. Nice choice.
I have helical piles going in, this spring for my deck. Digging here SUCKS.
Granite was quarried in town....

 

I have that problem too, at least it doesn't turn into a mud pit during rainy season though.
