    Just be careful not to run into the guys stealing the rebar out of the form between having it approved by the code inspector and the actual date of the pour.

    Hope not, so far the bar hasn't gone missing. More worried about tools.

    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I don't think it's common. I just heard a story about a contractor that was caught doing that. Glad to hear you're getting a whole new garage! I bet you're excited. Think of all the additional stuff you'll have to buy to fill it!

    Well, building it and having any money left over to fill it with stuff is the challenge. But I'll have a new man cave.

    Excited and depressed. Great to build it and use it, but also have to pay for it. It should increase my property value decent though. Now I can compare with the new $600,000 homes next to me. ha.
