I am on lthe tail end of the building industry doing counter tops, shower pans, shower and tub surrounds in quartz, ceramic, and solid surface Corian products. In one of my contracts the customer has had change order after change order until the finish date is now one year extended. Bummed me out cause I added extra help last summer to cover the project and never used them for it. So even before I start we are incost over runs. For some reason the turn on jobs has slowed remarkable and that drives my costs up. It is harder to keep my crew busy and paid in this economy.

Hope you get better news soon. It might be a good idea to rent the old house. Just think about that income when you get ready to retire! I wish we had done that as my wife is set to retire in May.

Oof. We got all of the changes that we wanted to their original plan done before we signed. The only change order we needed to do was for electrical because they told us they wouldn't do that at the time and we knew we wanted extra dedicated lines for hobby stuff. I swear we're not being difficult :loudly-crying-face:

That's insane that they ended up pushing it that much. I'm sorry!

I did have to drill holes in it, it stagnated inside initially and was pretty gross

Also, I love your tattoo. I went back and forth between Buddha and Ganesha for my right arm and Ganesha ended up winning, but it was close.

Keeping in mind that everything from the above tiny tank still needs to be moved over & that I have all those photo corals to pick up....

What am I missing in this tank? Colors? Textures? Give me ideas on what I should keep an eye out for while I'm there.

Agreed. You need texture and color, lol.

Seriously though, I love mushrooms, so maybe more of those?
All the yumas, zoas, and both minimaxi in the 4g are moving over soon. So there will be yellow, oranges, pinks, purples with that

I need to attach the red sponge I do have already, it fell :rolleyes:

I'd love some more colorful nps gorgs but I rarely see them at these kinds of events - I'll keep an eye out for sure.

I used to have this big barnacle thing covered in gsp but the engineer burying it constantly killed it off. I actually loved how that looked. Maybe I will do that again.
