The post whore thread.

JIC I may not have been clear... this project is for you & do it the way you want it done was my point. From what I've seen, the amount of thought & time you've invested, I suspect any 'good enough' you're faced with will shine by it's own merit & especially when measured by comparison.

Following? ; )

Finding 3-1/2 inch tubing that isn't schedule 40, or thin exhaust pipe, is really being a pain in my ass....and finding someone to bend the tubing if I can find it.

Wiring still sucks because it's very time consuming, and I can't do my relays the way I initially wanted to....which was made fun of anyways...I did get an alternate but similar outcome figured out and the switch plate is ready for fabricating into a housing. Relay panel and circuit breaker plans are set, and bundled cabling is getting run along with getting lights mounted.

Progress at a slow pace is better than no progress I figure.

There's a nominal chance that nobody really gives a shit about this part, but I saw a substantially lifted truck over here in Commerce City West, and I stopped to take a look at it. Mid 2000 gas with what looked like good spring work, and it had a higher end shock system installed, electric side steps, and some other shit. So...I'm starting to look more closely at the frame/wiring/etc.... rats nest spaghetti wiring everywhere and "shit, I think this will be good enough" installation ideals. Hack much, bro? I can't imagine how messy stuff is behind the dash or under the hood.

I really don't want to be "that guy" as I put this thing together.

Watching/looking at some of the workmanship one of these kitchen guys is doing the last 2 days is driving me nearly insane.

I have one guy that is super detailed and one that is a bt of a turd. The turd is putting up the tile backsplash and the accent stripe of glass/stone isn't as neat and straight as I would like. I've actually gone back after he left and straightened some of it - after bringing it up twice already... There was one cracked tile and a piece of accent strip tile that was cracked that I had to point out. I suppose some of this will be hard to pick up once it's grouted, but it still bugs me. The damn things are on backer mat, how friggin hard is it to keep things straight?

I do make sure to tell the super guy what an awesome job he's doing and that I appreciate his attention to detail. He did all the baseboard trim, handles, door alignment, and a few other finish items. I'm hoping he'll be the one to finish the tile work and grout/joint caulk as the other guy can't make it back Tue or Wed and we're scheduled to finish Friday with Final (wood) floor coating going in Thursday.

I hear ya. Had to suffer the idiot or lazy contractor more than once myself. Even worse when I knew I was the one being hired to come in & clean up what they were bungling. By nudge or by shove.
