I started my building and construction career after my tour of duty in the U.S.M.C.
My work experience started in ceramic tile and soon led to marble, granite & stone. After 15 years my masonry skills are quit rounded also. Five years of  Kitchen & baths made me realize I liked working with wood.
   Wood is my passion. I love wood working and milling wood. I am very knowledgeable in the following trades, and way above average in most.  Land excavation, and under ground utilities, foundation, block, concrete, framing, siding, cedar shakes, roofing, drywall, Spackle, paint, repairs, trim, tile, stone work, oak railing,  hard wood flooring, punch list, master fixer of almost every thing inside and out of any house.  Extensive renovation and high quality wood working experience.    I also have novice plumbing and electrical experience. All together, 34 years of doing
all this stuff will give you some great tips. Feel free to test my experience  and knowledge with  your questions. Thanks for visiting and stop back soon.  –Bob

Here’s a truly heartwarming story about
 the bond formed between a  little
 5-year-old girl and some construction workers
 that will make you believe
 that we all can make a difference when we give a child the
 gift of our time.

A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant
 lot.
One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the
 empty lot.

The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an
 interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day
 observing the workers.
  Eventually the construction crew, all of them
 ‘gems-in-the-rough,’ more or less, adopted her as a kind of project
 mascot..

They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had
 coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her
 feel important.

At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope
containing ten dollars.The little girl took this home to her mother
who suggested that she take her ten dollars ‘pay’ she’d received to
the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed
and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check
at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, ‘I worked last
week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us..’

‘Oh my goodness gracious,’ said the teller, ‘and will you be working on the
house again this week, too?’

The little girl replied, ‘I will, if those assholes at Lowe’s ever deliver the fuckin’ sheet rock…

Kind of brings a tear to the eye – doesn’t it?

3. My wife was in labour with our first child.

She was shouting, “Get this out of me! Give me the drugs.”

I wanted to stick it up your ass but you said, “It’ll be too painful.”

1. Measure a piece of wood two times and say the measurement out loud, this will help you remember.                      

2. When working with cement, wet the surface, this will make it stick much better.

3. Never set a ladder on loose gravel or a slippery surface or more than a 30% pitch.

4. When land scapeing always use a pitch so water runs away from the house.

6. Shut the water and gas off at the source before any demo work.

7. Always call 1-800 Dig before you dig anything.

A married man was talking to his buddy, and he said, “I don’t know what to get my wife for her birthday, she has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I’m stumped.”

His buddy said, “I have an idea, why don’t you make up a certificate saying she can have 60 minutes of great sex, any way she wants it . . . she’ll probably be thrilled.”

So the fellow did. The next day his buddy said, “Well? Did you take my suggestion?”

“Yes, I did,” said the fellow.

“Did she like it?” His buddy asked.

“Oh yes! She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the forehead and ran out the door, yelling ‘I’ll be back in an hour!’”

Aside from looking great on the floor, cork has an impressive list of features and benefits that most people shopping for flooring aren’t aware of. Here are some of facts that make cork flooring a great choice when considering a new floor for your home or business.

Beautiful Appearance – No one can deny that cork looks fantastic on the floor. There are a wide array of patterns and colors available to suit any taste or style.

Cork is so durable! – Cork has been around for thousands of years. Just to name a few commercial installations, there is a church in Chicago that had cork flooring in 1890 and is still in use today! The Library of Congress has cork flooring installed. Because of its cellular composition, cork is extremely durable and resilient. It is much less affected by impact or friction than hard surface floors such as wood, laminate or tile.

It’s all sealed up – Cork flooring contains Suberin. This is an intrinsic waxy substance that makes the cork impervious to liquids and gasses. Because of this, it will not rot and is one of the best seals available. This is obvious when you consider that cork has been used to seal wine bottles for hundreds of years. Also, cork floats!

Insect Resistant and Antimicrobial – Most common insects including termites won’t go near a cork floor. Because of its composition, cork acts as a natural barrier against insects. Microbe colonies cannot survive in or on a cork floor so you can also say the floor is germ resistant.

Acoustic, Resilient & Insulating – Again, due to the cellular composition of cork, its acoustical properties are remarkable. As a perfect example, cork is installed under many other types of flooring (ceramic tile, hardwood, laminate, etc.) as a sound barrier when those floors are installed on a second floor or higher. This would be typical in a condo installation where the unit is on the second floor or higher.

The resilience or ability to “bounce back” is also second to none. In simple terms, when the cork floor is subject to pressure, for example a high heel shoe, the cells are compressed. When the pressure is released, the cork snaps back to its original shape very quickly. This is a property manufacturers of other floors and underlayments work very hard to imitate.

While those properties are without a doubt remarkable, cork flooring also acts as excellent insulation. If your home is on the ground level, and you live in an area that gets cold in the winter, cork flooring or cork underlayment will block that cold from reaching your feet.

Hypoallergenic – Cork flooring does not produce any particulate irritants nor does it contain any harmful chemicals, it’s all natural. Also, cork does not absorb dust so it does not cause or contribute to allergies.

Value – Cork floors are an excellent value versus other floors such as hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, marble etc. Depending on the style, pattern, color etc., cork flooring can run as little as half the price of some other floors. With the added benefits and the ecological aspect, cork is an excellent all around flooring choice.

Hi every one , here’s a tip to save you money on PH-  With all the rain were having it’s hard to keep the PH  up.            If the PH is low, the other chemicals will not work ,

After two weeks of rain, my PH  was not even on the scale. I had to use 24lb of PH rise to get it to  7.5  – $30.00

A great way to save money is use bakeing soda ,this will increase the PH just like  PH rise and costs a lot less -almost half the price.

Two men were walking through the woods and came upon a big black, deep hole. One man picked up a rock and tossed it into the hole and stood listening for the rock to hit bottom. There was no sound.
He turned to the other guy and said “that must be a deep hole…let’s throw a bigger rock in there and listen for it to hit bottom.” The men found a bigger rock and both picked it up and lugged it to the hole and dropped it in.
They listened for some time and never heard a sound. Again, they agreed that this must be one deep hole and maybe they should throw something even bigger into it.
One man spotted a rail-road tie nearby. They picked up the tie, grunting and groaning, and lugged it to the hole. They tossed it in. No sound. All of a sudden, a goat came flying out of the woods, running like the wind, and flew past the men and jumped straight into the hole. The men were amazed.
About that time, an old hayseed farmer came out of the woods and asked the men if they had seen a goat. One man told the farmer of the incredible incident they had just witnessed…they had just seen this goat fly out of the woods and run and leap into the big hole. The man asked the farmer if this could have been his goat.
The old farmer said “naw, that can’t be my goat…he was chained to a railroad tie.”
