Asking because I'm not familiar with either currently....do you get the same result if you run stud girdles vs running shaft rockers? Wondering advantages/disadvantages to either option?
Thanks! |

Last week we went out and looked at at a job that involved removing the ornamental aluminum off a house powder coating it and reinstalling . It was a 30 thousand dollar job all day but he didn’t want or need the work so he told them 125 thousand to do the job and they came back with when can you start . He constantly turns down work as he is sick of having to babysit his Mexicans , their great workers but they lack common sense. And their isn’t a white boy around that wants to work for $40 an hour anymore. |
Very astute observation on both gringo and non gringo.

I blame our generation, we told them get a 4 year degree, trades are not good etc. Removed trade classes from schools (Hell our trade classes used to build a house every year!).
Now we have kids buried in school debt with degrees in "general college studies", yea that will get you a good job. When I went back to get another degree in 2009 I was in an advanced English class or something and the assignments were so easy I asked the professor what was up, how could the "advance" class be so easy. She said they have to do this because the kids coming out of high school could barley write a sentence! Anyway good for your buddy, that is a nice margin!!!!!
