Proof Positive

I now have positive proof that Steve isn't really retired, and that he can, and does, work for a living!

Yes! The guy traveling and partying all over the US at the drop of a hat actually has a trade, and uses it!

I snuck onto a jobsite where he said he'd be and captured these photos today as evidence.

See for yourself!






Good to see you this morning, Steve!

And thanks for the great job! Ten yards through the pump without a hitch!

He told me he was installing an upgraded electrical panel.

You've got a fine eye for detail, Gary. I didn't have an opportunity to use it, but it was there just in case.

I don't know, I watched some of our local folks pouring some mud at our house a couple months ago. They worked that stuff for hours. I don't have the knees or back for that kind of work.
I'll stick to measuring IC's, thankyouverymuch

We had about a wheelbarrow left in the truck. I don't remember what it was in finished square feet, but it was a LOT, and all in time!

It was a complex pour with a lot of different grades and slopes. I looked it over today and everything drains except where it's dead level (and it's not supposed to there).

What's most important is the customer is happy with everything and everybody concerned!

Steve made a good job a great job!
