What they say

Hide

there. All right, she's all good and goobered up. Get a shot of them rolling up. How you doing? Good. How you doing? Good. What do we got here? Standard block. First lock. You going to need help carrying these or you got it on your own? You're going to use one of those? Oh, those. Well, I'd do it myself, but I'm holding the camera. Yeah. And then there's Blaine. If I have a job that has a high degree of difficulty and needs a lot of attention to detail, this is the guy I call on. He's a true craftsman. He's not the fastest, but he's a perfectionist. No, I'm not going to say that. Come on, say it. No, I hurt somebody's feelings. I don't know. No, say it. No, I just said if you put Blaine and Timmy together, then not much will probably get done for a while. Well, my wife is They're perfectionists. Both of them are perfectionists. Okay. Yes, they do things perfect. Yes, they Yes, they do. So, you guys haven't seen much of Timmy lately. It's because Timmy's actually taken on more of the leadership role inside of the company. Uh it's not been a comfortable transition for him. That's for sure. He actually would prefer to be just working out on a job site, but as the co-owner of the company, he's got to be doing the bidding, the estimating, lining things up, and doing all of that uh kind of behind the scenes work that isn't as much fun as digging in the dirt.
