Striker879 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Construction Season ? You mean muddy soupy season ?But ahh ya ... you gota get below that frost line for foundation ... so better soup than frozen muskeg ? 3-4 ft frost line ? "Construction Season" is more a disparaging remark made by drivers ... stuck waiting for yet another flagman standing there with his stop sign while the work crew appears to be working hard at getting that bug that's biting their rear. And yes, those guys who have buggy rears also have the technology to make mud (how would you like it today sir ... thick like putty or would you perhaps prefer our from the roofline to the bottom treatment?).

Mktavish Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well thats just the laws of physics with constructing. Displacing all that dirt to get to the frost line ... expands it , spreads and tracks it around. Mix a little water , and you've got a real big mess ... hehe. Disparaging comment ? If you think so ... but just try and live with out construction . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you are one of those "white hats" I see occasionally ... generally standing off from the yellows, often carrying a rolled up paper or two.

Striker879 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Street construction ? No I wouldn't dain to work on such a crew/job.I build houses ... but now at age 50 ... I just fix old houses. So I got the right headwear ... just the wrong worksite. You do need to remember I specialize in hyperbole (though the disparaging remarks part is for the most part accurate ... guess I'm a different guy when I have a wheel in my hands).

Striker879 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Wheel ... whats a wheel got to do with it ... are you measuring plots ? No driving ... let's say I'm not a laid back chill kinda guy when driving (unless I have nothing but unbroken, unoccupied road in front of me ... I know a lot of "back ways" to my usual destinations). I have seen those wheels you're talking about though, usually along the side of those spots that have the rear scratching guys making more mud.

Deleted54170User Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm looking for land. The mention of those places where land is abundant but not much use for a mini-farm or Garden green house made me think, as my generation used to say back in the 70's and 80's, it's time to get real.

Mktavish Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 But the potholes add so much more adventure to the trip!! If it's adventure by potholes you seek ... you should visit New Orleans.Plenty of potholes around here , but plenty of road construction too.And in fact we have a new failed construction site turned tourist site ... the Hard Rock Hotel collapse.Which sounds like there was a bunch of shenanigans going on in the white hat department.And makes me wonder if they would call it white collar crime vs blue collar crime ?
