On an exterior project I know of, bids were received a couple of years ago and the job put on hold. A contract was finally signed this past July which called for the job to begin in late Oct 2007 and to be completed in the 3rd quarter of 2008. When the first schedule was submitted in November, the owner wanted certain areas completed sooner than others; fair enough. The schedule was revised to show those areas done first, and the owner agreed to completion in Dec of 08. Two weeks later the owner says he wants more than half of the building done by mid-May. Winter is here and likely to be with us for a good part of the time between now and May 15. The work can in theory proceed without regard to temperature, since there's no mortar work involved, the building is large and exposed, and baby, it's cold outside. Sometimes there's precip, and work ain't supposed to be done on wet substrates. Ralph **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
