Ok since I dont post much anymore I ill tell everyone what is happening.
As many (or some, or none) of you know, I own my own construction company.
But where I live help is hard to find as everyone is wrapped up in drugs or just to damn lazy to work. I have been thinking of shutting it down after 20 long years of doing good.
I have worked on everything from state highways, remodeling convience stores,, remodeling mcdonalds, building houses, remodeling houses, etc,etc.
I had been thinking of getting into duralast, which is a commercial specific roofing product, I was all lined up to go to their school, I met with the rep for this area and hit it off great with him, he wanted me to buddy up with a guy that we both knew and that has been doing duralast for quite awhile, but then I would have to move to OKC , which I didnt want to do.
a week ago while at our lumber yard I saw a sign hanging on the door, some out of town company looking for help, I laughed because I know the help situation around here.
Later that evening I called up one of my employees and had him drive down and get that phone number for me, I have no idea why I wanted it, it was just one of those things that I had a gut feeling I should call them.
So after talking to them I found out that they had the contracts to build our new schools and they were looking for help in this area, Sorry but they needed no one with my level of experience, I told him to just keep my number in case something came up and that was the end of that.
3 days later my phone rings and it is the same guy that I talked to and he is in town and wants to meet with me, so I go meet him and he wants to know all about what I have done and what I would want for pay to work for them, he said the price I gave him was to high and unless I came down then there was nothing to talk about, so we left it at that. He said he would call me monday (today)
But later that same day I got a call from one of their project managers and he wanted me to come see him, so I did, talked about the same stuff that I talked to the first guy about. And what I wanted paid.
Today, I get a call from their main office in Arkansas, the HR lady has me get online while talking to here and fill out 7 pages worth of applications so they can get it run through immediatly.
To make a long story short...
It looks like I will be running a project along with another guy on an 18 month remodel of the school my kid goes to
Work starts this week and they have even set up doublwides outside for 2 temp classrooms
And I still dont know what Im getting paid
, hope the project goes well for you!
