Material Procurement (Countertops)

Come on, grab your friends. We'll go to veryant. [Music] adventure. So, here's the deal. The construction crew has to put a new countertop in my favorite store. Boom. Yeah, but they don't make 14. So, we got to seam it. What do they make? They make twelves, 10, eights, sixes, and fours. If you work at Menard's, no offense, the one thing I've noticed, these guys are really good at not helping load. So, the construction crew is doing a complete house renovation and flip. My job is to make sure that they have everything they need to do their job. I mean, we can't even begin to go over everything that we've done to this thing. And when I say we, how much did I help you? Quite a bit. He is lying. The only thing I've done is get out of your way. Part of my job is to make sure that the crews move seamlessly from one project to the next. That means I've got to stay ahead of them on all of the engineering, permitting, and planning processes. Let's see how that goes. Now, where's all my raspberries? Now, I've got two project where I'm removing retaining walls and not rebuilding them, but I'm still going to meet with the engineer. Unfortunately, I can't get this guy to call me back. So, I'm going to go knock on his door instead. Even though I'm not technically building anything, I want to cover all my bases because I'm going to be altering the grade enough that it could raise a red flag. And before that red flag gets thrown in my face, I'm going to make sure that I got everything taken care of. So, let's see what happens. Now, I've worked many times with the city of Egan. And actually, they're one of my favorite cities to work with. These guys got it together. A few moments later. Well, I can tell you that knocking on the door works pretty darn well. The squeaky wheel gets grease. Not only did I get to meet with the engineer, but I convinced him on the spot to go out to both sites with me today. Let's see how this goes. So, that's what we're up against down there.
