With all the technology and information at hand this type of work has become relatively easier than in days past, but I have grown tired of the headaches..I have probably turned down almost a dozen in the last month. I really don't know of anyone with whom to refer these folks.
If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I will surely pass on your contact info.
No, not me, Coach. I'm happy sitting here on the bench. Send in someone else.
(Do you suppose there has ever been a coach who actually had a player tell him that?)
Do you survey the property and set corners?
If I were working in OKC I would do them. But I don't stay home enough to be of any help.
Currently doing jobs in the OK and TX panhandles working out of Houston.B-)
Not at all. Simply structural and elevation investigation and determination.
One heck of a commute
That's like 3.2 million miles round trip. Especially since Houston isn't really part of Texas, but, some other kind of place. Been there many times. Been in both Panhandles several times. No way to consider them as similar in any form.
Houston, Texas...
I met Houston in 1970 at 5:00 PM on a weekday on my way to Galveston. I was driving a 1963 VW Bug that could do 65mph with a tailwind and a three mile downhill.
Back then there were no freeways in OKC. I was sorta used to Dallas. Rush hour traffic in Houston was merciless. I've never been honked at so many times in my life. Didn't have a dry stitch of clothes on by the time I got to the south side of town. The real kicker was I was "flipped-off" by an officer in a black and white, apparently for going too slow.
I didn't get the feeling that Houston liked me very much.
Houston, Texas...
During the 60's a portion of my summers were spent in SE Houston area of Pasadena and traveling from High Island to Texas City enjoying the beach and baseball. That was before the days of freeways and interstates.
A trip along Old Spanish Trail into downtown Houston was an unbearable journey that ruined an entire day and left many vehicles pushed to the side of the road overheated and spent.
Today it is no trouble to zip around Houston as long as you don't go against the grain of traffic. Certain normal paths clog very quickly and require avoiding at certain times of day, like every metro area.
B-)
Nobody wants to pay me what I charge, so I'm out... I find that they are harder than they used to be.
Houston, Texas...
Or it could have been because of your hair, 1970?
I met Houston in the middle of July. Stepped off the plane and smelled what I suspected was the ocean, although to a land-locked guy it smelled more like a locker room. Went to my meeting and was drenched with sweat and starting to get woozy going between the air-conditioned car and the building. Fortunately, my bag, which had missed the connection, caught up with me the next day so I had fresh clothes.
How does anyone get anything done in that heat?
