    Just taking an unofficial POLL: MBTS Aaron as "Sweet little feller you want to put in your pocket and call him buttercup".
    Or Dirt Perfect Mike as "Perfectionist big dad micromanager you want to have run your job sight and call him Michelle."
    Let the numbers show the true will of the people...
    P.S. I erased my vote so it doesn't skew the numbers... so cast your vote.

    As a teenager I worked as a helper at a construction site prepping footers for pouring concrete. This was for an apartment complex and after about 2 dozen foundations were poured and the block was laid the surveyor quit. Turned out he had messed up the measurements of all the foundations by 6 inches too narrow. Learned some new words from the head of the project.

    it really influenced me. as an operator. I gave him much respect for that. I have to say you remind me of that man. Thank you for your teachings. By the way here at home we call people like Aaron Contraries they do all the wrong things for the right reason. Bless you guys

      @cathiwim Před 3 lety

      Ted Butts depending on the soil type(location in VA) they may not be able to use ICF. Soils around Richmond, Chesterfield county, and Henrico county are known as “shrink/swell” soils, moving dramatically with changes in soil moisture. Roanoke was bad for that too. Ive lived everywhere in the state except Northern VA and Far SW but Southside VA with its sandier clay soil would have worked well.
