richieb Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I see no reason a single family couldn't live comfortably in that finished home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 That's one heck of a residential project, especially all the drilling. It's always a crapshoot with the weather, hopefully it will dry up for you. A patient client is key to a project when the weather can wreck a schedule. We are having the driest and warmest February on record, I was attacked by mosquitos last week. Good luck and thanks for the progress pics.

But the cleanup would suck, gas leak maby, and let it burn then scoop up the ashes ? You did as much damage as either of these, but in the responsible way, someone has to be responsible, glad it's not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
