Roughing in a sh*tty house for a sh*tty company dealing with sh*tty idiots and working behind incompetent sh*t heads. :mad: I need a change in scenery. Anyone got any openings?

Trying to get my daughter from Ft Lauderdale to home today. Had it all set up, then American Airlines F***ed us. Been a scramble trying to connect a flight from Chicago to anywhere close to home today.

F***ing airlines. Complete assholes.

Tom, I’ve came to the realization that the whole world is just one giant asshole. Lol good luck with your daughter tho. I know how frustrating that can be.

Not many companies give much of a shit anymore, Zach. Its "collect the money and run" for most corporations.

Im in granite falls nc. I don’t really want to move across the country. And I’m a scrawny little runt so cold weather doesn’t treat me well. But I’d consider anything. I’m pretty pissed off at the moment lol

It’s not even so much that. It’s that no one gives a shit anymore. Half the guys in my company suck and the boss refuses to fire them and I get stuck dealing with their bullshit. And I REALLY don’t much care for them cussing me when I call them out for it.

^^^^ Naw, that 3-girders-at-once deal doesnt look sketchy to the eyes of a total novice who knows nothing about what you are doing. Nope, not in the least. :hehe:

That 3 baby beam thing is perfectly fine as long as they all have individual slings back to the hook. Its the ones that still want to do it the old way where top beam supports all of them that gets me.

I don't think OSHA has a rule against "multi rigging" or for that matter a limit. Just have to have a set distance between them. Been out of it for a while, but i think its 7' or more between pieces.

AA found us a flight to a city an hour away. Beggars cant be choosers. No extra charges.
Rolled back into town at 1:30 this morning with daughter in tow. She's showing 101* temp this morning, so its off to the doctor's office as soon as we can. She just cant catch a break with her health. This is one of those days I wish everything was going well and I was AT work.

Got rained out from the Job Site from hell and got a call that I need to get my crew back to one of my old jobs to start Phase 2. Christmas came early for me boys. I'm so happy to be off that Fing job you don't even know. Now if they can finish the job from Hell before I finish up I won't have to go back. Fingers crossed!

Correct
You can have 20 beams as long as you weight ratings are all good and like mentioned they go back to the hook
Not sure on spacing but we like around 6’ helps the little Mexicans lol:rofl:

Well I know we are going balls to wall. I've got 90+ 7 straight weeks and I've put over 12k on the work truck in 9 weeks, sad part is I've only gone maybe 100 miles from town but it's back and forth so much. All I know is while they give the money and hrs away in taking full advantage and paying as much of my shit off as possible

I thought you were doing well? Sure sounded like it. I hope everything smooths out for you.

Business is great. Dealing with dad's estate, wife, child and I have had flu twice, then wife got pneumonia, house remodel thrown in, sick dog, etc are what were giving me problems. Plus, I just lost a great employee to a grading company, customer of mine snipped him out from under me...:(
