I kid lol. I’m working 6-10s with a 12 sprinkled in here and there but there are some guys staying late still. They are on schedule with most of the stuff but the rush is definitely on. It’s getting to crunch time so they are pushing some trades into doing [BLEEP] out of order( like putting [BLEEP] ceiling grid up before overhead trades are complete with projects that require them to get above the grid) but that [BLEEP] happens on every construction project.

As for the 15 lifts in the IPF.. that was a [BLEEP] show, I can’t believe they are bragging about that. Literally rushed a project because they wanted to level and grade the surface so a absolute ton of [BLEEP] of underground work was completely covered up to the point that we are just now realizing certain things we need but have no way of knowing where it is because it now is covered by 4 feet of dirt.

Don’t get me wrong my trade is good at improvising but a lot of the [BLEEP] we are having to do is needless bs caused because of just how rushed this project has become. 

The ibew holds its work to higher standard than non-union rats so despite the insane time crunch the quality is not something that is being sacrificed. The quality of life of the workers is definitely a different story though. Unfortunately that is something that will probably not be remembered when people see this building finished.

I was hoping that you would comment on this recent posting because you definately know what going on within the fence lines. Thanks for your input and yes I know that recent times are loooooong  trying hours/efforts to which you and the crew are going through. 

I'm also ecstatic that corners aren't being cut even though there being a little rounded off. Again, thanks for your input and continue to be safe. I can't wait for the unveil. It's gonna be a time to remember.

Time Will Tell.

Oh yeah lol. The thing that makes this project so bizarre is how much the prints are changing. It’s to the point they are shifting things around daily. The toughest part about that is they are shifting things that have already been installed. So you go to look for something and it is no where to be found or the size is completely different from the new prints. 

It’s not uncommon to alter blue prints. But to this degree is something almost no one on the job has experienced. The guys working late will have something shifted, so prints that you ended the day with today may be completely wrong by 7am tomorrow.
