Guess what buddy did the other day?
He climbed down into the storm water retention system to
take some pictures… why what were you thinking?
StormTech subsurface stormwater management, the science and engineering of what to do with all that rain water… you can't have it just run off onto the neighbor's property or into the street, the Mud Cops would have you locked up!
Buddy is so lucky, he gets to play/work outside in the
beautiful sunshine, making buildings out of giant erector set steel. It never rains and there are no delays for mud or ice or snow.
The subcontractors are always on time and bring everything
they need to do their jobs, they can all read blueprints and always finish up
by the scheduled deadline.
The other day one foreman pulled out his set of blueprints
(impressive as they don't usually have any) and was looking at the concrete
pad, looking back at the prints… he told Buddy the concrete pad was wrong, it
was supposed to have a cutout on this side. Buddy walked over and turned the
prints a quarter turn, and said, "There you go, it's right
now!"
The architect and civil engineers always produce accurate
drawings so everything is perfectly clear and there will be no questions.
The subcontractors all work well together, helping each
other out and sharing. They never cry or whine about anything. Buddy has
boxes of tissues and baby pacifiers for the criers… and a 'take a number'
machine under the Complaint Department sign by the construction trailer door.
Not really, but he has threatened do to so.
Oh, and shhhh that is not a construction job trailer, it is
just a storage box (with a desk inside). Because the city requires a
construction trailer to have landscaping consisting of holly trees planted on
all 4 sides every 2 feet so the neighborhood won't look trashy…
But he apparently loves his job, because that is what he
says every morning as he is leaving out at 5:30 a.m. in the dark and cold. I love my
job - I love my job - I love my job!
