Yeah I'm in construction in general . Often referred to as a wood whore, bc I don't care what it is if the phone rings, that what I'm doing. But at the University I'm the only flooring expect , which only means no one else is willing to work on their knees lol. Mostly doing carpet squares, vct, lvt, plank , ceramic , loose lay .... ect. ect. But I also do a lot of drywall, painting, metal studs, doors , concrete, hardware and the list goes on and on. I can't get a promotion bc I work to hard ,hell they already have plenty of pencil pushing lazy fuckers.

No flowers on the other side where you sit, colorful shade though. The gutter leaked onto the 1st two rhododendrons for 7 or 8 years every time it rained, they're twice as big as the others.
I've directed every french drain I've put in the last 5 years to dump by a plant, inspired by that gutter leak.

rhododendron wall, the 2nd one on the left, all planted in 1990.

It's not bad ,think I have about 14000sqf to lay in the next two mouths plus some other stuff . I like the centiva. I'll probably hit you back with a question or two sometimes if that's cool.

Peace

I quit my job but the owner of the company called me and wants me to stay. I'm supposed to call and tell him what it will take for me to stay later this afternoon.

I'm not sure if even a substantial raise would make me want to go back there. He was also trying to down play how fucking terrible my complex was, even though I've been to a few of the other ones the company owns and it was night and day.

Dude you sound like you know your shit and obviously a hard worker. Don't settle. There's work out there. Find yourself something better. You're worth it and you know it. Best of luck.

Someone just bought the house across the street from me. An older couple lived there for the last 30+ years, they had a half dozen beautiful 10+ft tall rhododendrons out front of the house the woman tended to all the time, not to mention a bunch of well manicured evergreen bushes. I got home the other day and the new owners ripped them all out with a backhoe and destroyed them....all to put in more fucking grass. I already don't like them and I haven't even met them.

Sounds like your neighbors are young and stupid.
I did something similar when I was 25 and bought my first house. Previous owner had beautiful maintenance-free succulents growing in the front, and for some unknown reason, I killed them all with roundup then planted some primrose. They eventually died and I ended up with weeds.
Derp! :dunce: :cry:

Lol..i think its kinda funny they tore out all that to put grass and the day before I just rototilled half my lawn to start a giant veggie garden. Hopefully before the end of the season I'll get the rest rototilled for a patch of berries and fruit trees.

I hate grass, I haven't mowed my yard in 3 years. The towns bitched to me about it, my neighbor tried mowing it once because HE doesn't like it. I tossed a bunch of rocks around the lawn right in front of him and told him to go for it. Fucker keeps pushing his property line over every year. He drives over part of my property to get around his parking area/ garage to get into his back yard after he surrounded the other side of his house with a fence and then stacked wood all along the fence. His roommate drove over my fig tree a couple years ago. I've had people stuck in the mud in my yard, leaving huge ruts, never once had he offered to fix it. He's going to be surprised when he comes home and there's a fence up on MY property. I want to see how he gets his RV, trailer, boat and other crap out once I do it. Guess he'll have to move wood and take out some fence..:fire:.
