LOL Dualie,
It amazes me sometimes, "it is just four inches of weld that is not even a full rod"....course position or process never enters their mind unless they are an old school fella that has seen it enough times to remember it. The estimator got burned pretty good on it...I offered to to give them figures to go by on the next welding project...for a fee of course.

I am on the gravy train now at the LRAFB. I got two laborers and one smart guy who I can trust with layouts all supplied by the GC. They were way behind and we are already a day ahead of expectations after ONE day. I did not pick up anything heavier then a 4ft level today..its like being on vacation!! All I have to do is burn rods and point! They only thing that bothered me today is I am really committed to this job..I will not pull off of it because lots of other subcontractors are counting on what I am doing (they have been waiting for this to get approved and done for 8 mos) so I told them I am here every day until its all rolling, I had to turn down three jobs today because of that. I HATE turning ANY work away. I hope everyone else is seeing an unusual amount of work out there....fall has been kick butt.
