Aloha Cat,
Yeah, and even if you make reasonable suggestions, they aren't gonna listen if they don't wanna. Then, later, they will be back for revisions because they want what you were trying to suggest to them in the first place. That is okay, if you charge separately for revisions!
Well, I was on the wrong end of a hammer once helping some folks build a 5,000 sq. ft. log "cabin". Yeesh! Had to put in a 400 amp main disconnect because of the air conditioning for the "cabin". Although the horse barn was also on that same electrical panel, but it wasn't air conditioned.
The logs were moved with a Bobcat, that was fun. Drilling them for electrical runs was a lot of work. Then they were all fastened together with big screws and a bazillion cases of caulk. Used up a lot more lumber than was necessary and didn't have a decent R-value for the climate they were building it in. Oh well, I'm not paying their heating and cooling bills!
The logs they used were milled somewhere on the mainland and it was a "kit" log home.
Well, the plotter is about done, guess I should aughta go deliver these plans. Then, I may have to go annoy the papio for awhile. It is too nice of a day to work all day.
A hui hou!
