Well, I know where the cement mixer was when they built my house

Uploading pics right now. Was airating the ground today so that we could plant some grass seed and the **** spikes hit something hard enough to make it bounce even with 45lbs in it. So I go behind my dad and check it out with the pick axe. We have a lot of clay, hard clay so I take a whack and sparks fly like the fourth of July. So me, being semi ADD, get to diggin on my knees and usin brushes to excevate dirt and it end up being a chunk of concrete that starts at the foundation and comes to a nice little point about 5-6' away. Wonderful when the people who you are paying care so much about thier worksmanship and doing a good job on someones home.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I actually think that would have been a lot more ammusing than spending an hour goin at it with some fuckin concrete.

Did mexicans build it?

Not meant to be racist, but where I live all the homes have been built by hispanics, and its not uncommon to have concrete and wood shit in your backyard.

Im just joking, it has nothing to do with if they are hispanic or not....

we all know hispanics wouldnt even have the job in the first place..

LOL, well, we had them come in with a tractor and rake to get all of the shit out of the back yard, it was absolutely rediculous. It's like they didnt even care if the shit was seen. They said they werent gonna do anything but once we started doin it outselves and saw how much shit was back there, my father decided he didnt really wanna do it, so he had a lil talk, and the next day they were out here.

Amazingly enough, there were a lot of mexican laborors.

speakin of mexicans....on my way home from school today...i saw the funniest thing. 2 state troopers had a older chevy astro van pulled over. and in the ditch about 20 feet from the van sat no less than 12 mexicans. i started laughing so hard, it was seriously about the funniest thing i had ever seen. all of them just sitting indian style in a nice little line. wish i would have had a camera with me at the time, i could have shared some funny pics with you guys.

so it's funny that people regard america as a better country than mexico? sure i hate the illegal ones, but most mexicans are tight *** people.

OK people, the mexicans, the whites, the blacks, the ethiopians, the iraqis, I dont care who it was, they were slobs when the built the house, and it is pathetic that you pay people hard earned cash to have them regard you in this manner.

That's nothing.

I've got construction stories that'll make the back of your neck crawl. Probably the reason why we fired the first GC //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Let's say...we would have been glad if that was the only thing they ****ed up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Dude, there is nothing MAjOR with the house, but there are some pretty ****ed up things. The stair banner wobbly, screws in the cabinets stripped, the **** light switch panels have paint all over them, running boards cracked and painted over, no support beam for the ceiling fans, a bunch of other minute shit that is just adding up after we already signed and moved in. Wish we could have ben here to monitor the progress but Sicily is more than just a lil car ride ye know.
