I'll limp through it .No sir I sure don't.... Although I did finish 50 boards out last week. Been super busy at the moment. Got 6 customs sitting right now waiting to be hung.

We got a monster about to be finished right now. Got 2 boxes of bead and a thousand feet of no coat. Not really a huge house (390) boards but has 45's everywhere. I got my main crews swamped with work. I hate relying on these other guys that don't work for me every day. Send some hangers my way!
Your a little off the beaten path. But i know a crew of south Americans. From Richmond that can throw up 400 a day. You may have to dig out a few Buried boxes thoWe got a monster about to be finished right now. Got 2 boxes of bead and a thousand feet of no coat.

I don't doubt it. I got 4 hanging crews going tomorrow and got 6 more houses sitting. Houses all hit me at the same time. I try to have my main hanging and finish crew do most my work but it doesn't work out that way. Good thing is the rates are going up pretty good right now.Your a little off the beaten path.

Exactly this!If they expect you to leave it clean, then it should be clean when you start. Good for you Rick.
Just stumbled upon this old thread and wanted to share my thoughts. First off, I try to prioritize my tasks and make a to-do list for the day. This helps me stay organized and focused. I also take breaks throughout the day to clear my mind and stretch my legs. Another thing that helps me is talking to my coworkers about any challenges or concerns I have. It's always good to have a support system at work. It also prevents me from getting a neurotic illness. So, yeah, it's crucial to prioritize mental health and seek help if needed.
i always add day or two to job time. i always finish early and that leads to bonus some times!😁 and i did all the work myself no employees to cause me stress.
