The problem with the county using "Construction manager- at risk" is that the county as the owner has no one guarding the hen house. Let me explain. They hire GC 1 to build a government building. GC 1 is going to solicit bids from the subcontractor market (usually at least 3 different subs for each trade) for all of the work. They allow the county to "see" all of the qualified bids and they will choose the lower one of the qualified bidders and then GC 1 makes 3% on top of that after covering all of their overhead associated with the project. Sounds legit, and works well for private own

Chairman claims appointment right on IBA; post commissioners divided

"A man's gotta know his limitations..."- John Wayne You exceedingly surpass your limitations. Do you not see the hypocrisy in this "study"? Insert another minority groups name in the place of the Scots- Irish and you and your left leaning comrades would have banned them from campus and been so butthurt that you would have had endless protests. "Some folks are educated beyond their mental capacity..." unknown- but wiser than most -

Says the guy who tags the Scotch-Irish as generational stubborn, fight prone, backwards etc... Why don't you go ahead and tell the rest of the world how you feel about the other "species" of human beings as you perceive them. Start with Blacks, Jews, Native Americans, The Chinese, the French, ... hell pick any "species" that your "enlightened" intellect knows about and share it with the rest of the class. You bigot. -

If it were free enterprise at work, they would have used private money instead of the people's money to build their damn airport. -

Size of Atlanta's Property in Paulding County

That's a shame. I have walked all of that land at one time or another and it really is a beautiful example of an upper Piedmont ecosystem. Not suitable for a lot of building as it is hilly and very rocky. Thats's the main reason its still undeveloped. But I guess with enough money you can make chicken salad out of chicken sh$#. -

When the commissioners changed the zoning regulations to allow 1/4 acre subdivisions will be marked as the downfall of Paulding County turning it eventually into the next Clayton County. -

Mr. Pownall handled the situation very professional and as a grown man should. But as soon as he called his Momma a bitch, he should have knocked that assholes teeth out. -

What was the original government estimate for the cost of the Cherokee County reservoir and what did the final cost come in at? Any costs that bureaucrats estimate or project usually doubles by the end. -

It looks like EIFS. EIFS is about 1/4" of an inch thick applied on top of foam board. Do not let anybody pressure wash it unless they have extensive experience pressure washing EIFS.

There are several types of exterior wall systems that people refer to as stucco. Most medium priced houses around here will have a product commonly called "EIFS" and usually pronounced as "EE fuss". EIFS is Exterior Insulated Finishing System. Eifs is a great product to use for a house. The problem with EIFS isn't the product but the installation. If done properly no problems, if done incorrectly it will rot the exterior studs of a house. True stucco is a cementitious product composed of Portland cement, lime and sand. It is usually installed on higher end homes and it too is a great pr

Question about building laws in Paulding
pcnative1969 replied to Mrskittycat's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Good building practices would dictate that you have some type of water barrier behind the siding. The siding should be viewed as nothing more than a "rain screen" and the water barrier behind it is what keeps your house dry. Belt and suspenders if you will. Also, your insulation in the wall cavity shouldn't have paper or foil on it as it creates a "double vapor barrier" trapping moisture in the wall cavity. Most people around here don't have to worry about that as the houses are very haphazardly sealed. -
None of the "experts" predicted the recession. Why would anyone think the "experts" will be able to forecast a recovery?

To all of the people that think you could live of off meat from hunting; there would not be a bird,squirrel or chipmunk left after about a month. Deer would be exterminated in a couple of weeks. Lakes and rivers would void of fish very quickly.
