Honestly, they dont even know what I do for a living. They know I'm a GC, but thats about it. Never even seen one job....Of course it hurts, but you can get used to that! Im tough.

It's all good Jay. Just have to accept that my family is crazy, and that as much as my gut tells me to fix it and help, they really dont want it. It's a hard thing to stop, it's the way I am.

Here's another good one. 5 minute walk from my house. The water was a bit high this day, but we normally swim and cliff dive downstream a bit. Way too much fun! I know Curt will know where this is..

Business is beyond busy right now. It seems every job I bid the last few months suddenly decided to start. Im 10 jobs deep right now. A couple additions, 1 new custom, some interior projects, couple decks...etc. Lots of good work, finally.

My brother is driving the tires off that VW!!! It's perfect. We did replace the timing belt (thanks for the advice Dan) and he's getting 44-45MPG with it. Should have kept it for myself.... Great car. In fact, the customer of mine I bought it from, is the one that wants one of the decks built. 45' long and 24' out from the house, sunk in hot tub, lights all around, clear cedar railings and composite decking. Oh, then a 12x12 pergola over the hot tub. ka-ching!!!!!!!!!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
