How rich? Perhaps you can throw one my way!

Most of them are not as well off as they would like you to believe.

I only know a few people in the building/Construction business, but they tell me that there are more families then homes.

It's insane at the moment, I've been through this a few times in my life and know what usually follows the highs.

740 feet of footings set up for a 7am pour. I think we will get rained out though.

Nice!

I have to confess that many times I have thought about my project in the context of what you are doing.

I've been busy playing in rabbit holes and forgot this thread was here.

@hashbrown How are you able to get materials? In Iowa you can hardly find lumber and roofing material is like finding a sasquatch. One of my church friends is a roofer, both steel and asphalt. Last fall he and his wife bought 4 suppliers out of their inventory. (They own a lumberyard also, so they have connections.) They're just about the only small contractors around who can keep working continuously now. He is booked over a year out and won't take new jobs. And you have to choose your roof from what he's got in his stockpile.

Your stuff looks great. Keep up the good work...

 

[hashbrown]

@Spikedriver I buy so much that the suppliers keep me going. The prices I'm paying for materials are unbelievable and even more unbelievable that people aren't batting an eye about the price of my units. I've raised prices 50 to 70k across the board and have 23 units presold. I don't get whats going on.

Same thing with son in law,he can't build fast enough.But he is having trouble lately with materals,but his is in a large metropolitan area near Atlanta.

 

[hashbrown]

@Meerkat I order materials months ahead to keep things rolling.

Bet against the weather today and won! Footings poured before the weather hit.

I've had a little mud I'm my eye but I don't remember pouring that much in a day. Good job.

 

[hashbrown]

@Caribou we had a 2 hour window to pour in today and it took exactly 2 hours to pour those footings.

 

[Caribou]

Two hours? You were moving. I ran a small factory where we made concrete septic systems. We had a small batch plant where we mixed our concrete. Nothing nearly as impressive as what you pulled off.

Wait until the Baby Boomer generation dies off. Then there will be a surplus of homes, I'd bet.

 

[Flight]

wow @hashbrown you are a shaker and mover.

 

[hashbrown]

Belting rock today and my pretty wife.

 

[hashbrown]

We finished up belting and did a pre slab termite treatment this after noon. In the morning we will do underslab electric, plastic and reinforcing wire . I had concrete set up for Wednesday but looks like rain will push it to Friday.

 

[Amish Heart]

That's good you can get materials. We are still waiting for garage replacement windows our builder ordered months and months ago. Our add on is pretty much complete, except for the paint. Still waiting for a generac that was ordered months and months ago.

 

[Meerkat]

Yep looks like he gets it done.

You get to play with some really cool tools and gear that I would pull up a lawn chair to watch in operation.

At the scale I iperate we are happy to have a hand cranked load-handler on the back of the pickup and a DR powerwagon.

It depends who im around, in business and on my jobs I veer away from my accent. I guess I don't want folks thinking I'm a hick. My bunch came here in 1871 my mom now she doesn't mind to let her accent shine!

Most of my life I did things the hardest way possible but after I have got older I have found out that there is some technology that saves time and effort which means profit for us.

I guessed you were from mid west or so. Not sure why.

I'm ordering things months ahead so we can keep building moving forward.

I lived in a 30 mile radius of Branson Mo my entire life.
