Excellent true story and information

[@gregabrams5792]

Great story Tim! PS Tim helped me as well. Highly recommend!

[@Missing_Xindi]

Great video and information. Hopefully this will help someone else avoid the problems. I have been hearing so many stories from friends and looking back at old jobs we had where overcharging and poor explanation was the norm. I'm glad you were able to help this couple!

[@strongbredbreeder]

Love it! Excellent example.

[@askthebuilder]

TNX. It was perhaps the worst day to test something. The day before Thanksgiving! And my cold open was too stiff. I'll try ten more and see if I get any traction. Willow's favorite time of year is here. It snowed 4 inches yesterday. :-)

Great message. I'd only pay for materials delivered and stored properly on the site and then probably only if there were workers already at the site.

[@askthebuilder]

Good plan. The message I was trying to deliver is that you need to stand firm on the payment issues and communicate when YOU are uncomfortable. Then you come to some favorable compromise.

Help! Can you tell me if it is proper to install lally columns directly over control joints of convrete basement floor? 2nd question, is it necessary to bolt them into floor? (New construction) Thank you!

[@askthebuilder]

There should be a footing under the column. Yes they should be bolted. You probably should get on a phone call with me. shop.askthebuilder.com/15-minute-phone-or-video-conversation-with-tim/

Any update on that house series from last year from that new house built?

[@askthebuilder]

Yes. The people moved in back in the spring. I was unable to access the inside after the last video in the series.

[@cj_djalgo9765]

Maybe update youtube so others know, thanks!@@askthebuilder

[@dr.trollman8132]

Can you build a pool for skateboarding?

[@askthebuilder]

Yes I can do that. So can you.
