Ditto here, and whatever happened to that GC? Doesn't he bear responsibility anymore? Their job is to co-ordinate this stuff!

Seems like their single 'now-a-daz' job is to delay the sub's invoice payments! GC's excuse number xx is 'your man wasn't here when we ran that wall up'. Tough, catch up next month, and BTW, no back charges will be honored . . .

When I was a pup, we did not have space age Primervera schedules. First day on the project the first stop was to sit down with the project's super. I unloaded the truck while the foreman went over the plan with the GC. "This is what we are here to do. We will keep up, but a phone call (looong before those cells) is all it will take to get us out. Please don't pour or rock over us, and don't run those walls up"

Back in ought two, (thats 1902) the GC sort of cooperated with his subs. What has gone amuck since then ?

Sorry folks, don't to want me to get started here!

Back to the OP, how did we ever get from a really nice Bridal Shop Install to this rant? Think I know that answer

NSL makes some neat little LED lights something like that. About $30 a pop and another $75 for a driver. Hook up with an 18-2 low volt wire. I use these in some home theater stuff

Thanks for info on these lights. I had heard of them did not where to get them.

Yea,
They are really kind of neat. They are weather proof, you can get a concrete form and put them in outdoor steps, 100,000 hour life span. They are actually brighter than a person thinks. Just make sure you leave a little bit of extra wire because just like an electronic ballast you will get some lemons right off the bat. Seems like one out of ten are bad, which sucks when you are selling a quality install.
