How has it taken this long to put such a basic, terrible design together?
Lol at it taking the end of the year to finish this. This is a 2 story retail building. Should be finished by August at the latest.
It should have been a lot cheeper. The had out of State people working there for less than half of the regular construction wages. Shame on them.
