I work for a major construction company that has been in business for over 40 years. This company has worked on projects locally, nationally, as well as internationally. It has certainly made its mark within the industry and will be around for many years to come. Of course, like with any company, there will be some lingering issues coupled with some pros and cons. Personally, I believe that the pros outweigh the cons, hence the reason why I am still glad that I work for the company. Anyway, while the pros outweigh the cons, there is one criticism that I have that has been a lingering issue. This multi-million-dollar construction company is housed inside a warehouse that was transformed into an office space. And the company has been in this location for about 36 years. Well, there are some structural issues as well as equipment failures that have yet to be addressed in the best way. For instance, the HVAC system that is installed is always breaking down, especially during the Summer when the weather is hot outside. Every year, as the weather gets warm, we need to call our commercial HVAC provider to fix the unit. And it is usually because the unit stopped working or can’t keep up due to the high temperature outside. It’s obvious that the HVAC unit is old and needs to be replaced, but I assume that a new unit for a space that big will cost thousands of dollars and the company refuses to pay for it. They do get regular service on the HVAC unit, but those services never prevent the issues that show up later. I just hope that the company decides to get a new HVAC system soon because it is time.

I will write one more of these things plus then transfer on to larger plus better stuff.

One thing I need to do is get some food in my stomach so that I can focus, as there is nothing worse than having a growling stomach while you try to get some work done.

I ate about an hour plus a half ago, however it seems like I didn’t eat enough as I am feeling quite hungry right now. I may make my famous grilled cheese sandwich for a quick supper plus then go to the local corporation with my roommate to get some paperwork done for her. After that is done I will come house plus work for a little bit more on my Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system before I do my exercise routine plus then head out to meet some Heating, Ventilation plus A/C tech friends on the beach. This week is pretty windy plus cool plus it is also the last day of March, so I want to get some sun on the beach before it gets too crowded, but if the beach is too windy then I will go to the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C corporation plus hang out there while my wonderful friend and I watch the other heating workers do their thing in the showroom. It is going to be a tied up weekend plus they are trying to get everything ready for when the doors open on Tuesday day, the heating corporation expects to sell a lot of equipment this weekend because they have a lot of sales on the old furnaces that they are trying to unload from the shelves.

I wanted some simple roof repairs made to the apartment building I owned. There were some leaks that were minor, but I wanted them repairs before they became a major repair and not just a nuisance. I had never owned rental properties before, and I always did the repairs on my home, so I wasn’t sure of the protocol for doing repairs on an apartment building. Since it was a five-story building, I figure I needed a contractor for the roof repairs, but ‌I wasn’t sure. I called a roofing contractor and told them what kind of building it was, and asked if they could repair the roof for me. He wanted to come to the apartment building and check out the situation. When he saw it was a flat top roof, he wanted to know what was underneath the roof. Were there more apartments or storage space? I showed him the apartment floor. He didn’t like the idea of needing to take any of the roofing. If there were leaks, it could be between the walls, and he pointed out areas where the roofing was lifted. I was thinking roof repair was going to turn into a roof replacement. I thanked him for the information and said I would be in touch with him. I called two other roofing contractors, and they all said the same. I was probably going to need a new roof and not just roof repairs. I asked all three companies to come back and give me a quote for the roof and asked how much it was going to cost.

I was expecting the roofers to arrive by 6 AM.

I knew I could greet them, find out how long it would take to put the new roof on the house, and give them the down payment, while not being late for work.

When 6:30 arrived and I hadn’t yet seen the roofers, I was worrying. I had a 7:30 AM meeting to attend, and since I was the general manager, I had to be there. I called the number on the business card the roofers had given me, and asked when they would be arriving. The man seemed to be confused when he asked if I was sure I had called the right roofing company. He said he had no appointments at this address. I had the card in front of me with the date and time written on it. I told him his roofers were to be there by 6 AM and it was now almost 7. I couldn’t wait much longer. He asked for a phone number where I could be reached, so I gave him my work phone number. I was just finishing up with my meeting when I got a phone call. It was the roofing company. He said someone had written the wrong date on the appointment book. They had the roofers scheduled for the following week. I thought the roofers were running late at 7 AM, but now the roofers are running a week late. I wrote the appointment on my work calendar, so I didn’t plan any meetings or make appointments that couldn’t be canceled.
