Right?! What the hell-seriously!Jeez...you sure she's yours?
Kidding of course.
I used to hate Led Zeppelin when I was a kid.(I eventually came to see the error of my ways) She'll figure it out sooner or later.
The young Marines I work with can't figure out why a 50 year old likes Grunge / Alternative and absolutely loves Tool. I even tolerate rap in small doses, lol.So, a disturbing moment..I was driving the oldest and listening to Disturbed’s essential playlist..I’m totally into it and she isn’t. So, I reluctantly turned it down and asked what was up. She said and I quote, “I don’t understand why you listen to hard rock and heavy metal. It does nothing for me.” After I was able to breathe again....I shot her a look and turned it up
I have had to turn plans back to engineers because they were incorrect but I think your missing my point . I'm not separating engineers and contractors .I don't fully agree. I've seen some contractors pull some pretty sketchy shit on bigger jobs.
I had a mason stuff plastic shopping bags in his CMU wall instead of grouting it. We only caught it due to a randomly selected test of that wall.
Ironworkers torching holes to fit connections (a big no-no).
Rebar crews leaving bars out because they "don't fit".
Likewise, I've seen some "engineered" stuff that is impossible to build.(These usually end up as the subjects of smarmy letters and expensive claims
).
True, an engineer probably couldn't actually go out and build any of the stuff they design (I for one don't have the requisite number of muscles to be an ironworker
). But, I would argue that a contractor wouldn't know where to begin sizing a dam for the water behind it. Contractors and engineers need each other. They usually hate each other, but they need each other (except in smaller scale work, where the contractor can rely on experience and prescribed building code measures).
No offense intended, and none taken though!
Good morning Mike!
I think I've figured it out...My curiosity intensifies as to what you actually do now lol.
Jake!
I do. If I'm at the bottom of the parking area and I need to move my Jeep, I just throw it into 4HI and go straight up the steep hill to the top portion of the parking area instead of the long way around.Anyone else ever consider taking 'the Jeep route' out of parkingspaces and lots?
So I'm pretty sure by now you've seen Mikes reply. lol.I didn’t really think that one through, did I?
She already knows I'm a DOM. No need to amplify.
