Building a new House

has nothing to do with the truck, more to do with man power.

 

So on move in day you've got King Stud, the cripple and Lisa's rack with OZ as an our of country consultant overseeing the operation... Sounds like a party

 

well when you put it that way....

 

Dont forget the addition of the Templeton Rye.... I'm not gonna get shit done!

 

Can't wait to see the results of that move in! I'm guessing everything makes it as far as the garage except the fridge, couch and TV...

 

Adam:
Go to a Sports Authority and buy a foam roller and use it. It will help dissolve the lactic acid in the overworked muscles and make the pain go away.

 

Sounds like I know where I'm going on my lunch hour to borrow. Thanks Tom.

 

Got the garage all insulated today. Just need to wait till the drywall is in the ceiling so I can insulate the ceiling and I'm good to go for the man cave.

 

How's it pay

 

In booze, does that work for you?

 

I don't drink

 

Then I guess you are SOL.

 

and not coming to help

 

Hookers and blow

 

Bumper sticker:

Yes, this is my truck.
No, I will not help you move.

 

Dibs on the hookers

 

Jeez, Adam, I don't know how I missed this. Just too busy lately I guess. Looks great, very jealous.

 

Thanks. It's a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

 

I'm just curious how you balanced the worklaod and scheduling with contractors. I haven't read the thread, so I'm not sure if you are acting as GC, or if you found a GC who is willing to work with you. For example, you said you insulated the garage (not to mention doing all the cabling elsewhere), and the drywallers will follow you....

 

I have a GC that is a long time family friend. I worked it out with them to be able to do a lot of the work myself. The GC built a house for my parents about 14 years ago. They know the level of work my dad and I are capable of so they agreed to let us do it.
