I guess I picked a good game to miss. We traveled 2.5 hours each way because we were told we could see one of the homes were building completely finished (it wasn’t), and to get the drawings (they didn’t come in yet)… a little pissed, but that’s the world in 2022…

It was the same sample we had seen before. It looked awful because a couple guys threw the pieces together in an hour and a half. Then a big wind came in and blew the roof off. It was covered with a green tarp. Despite that there was a big crowd and it was drawing interest… Seams that would have had a 1/16” tolerance if properly assembled had about a 5/8” gap… |

Like something out of a British comedy. |

Like something out of a British comedy. Luckily, I found it to be hilarious, too. I guess my years in sales, including doing those shows gave me the perspective to laugh a bit at it. I didn’t like the aspect of a five hour drive, a cheap meal in the road, and not getting the drawings. Yet the guy standing there inside a shitty-looking sample with a tarp flapping in the wind overhead was funny. I learned a few years back how risky outdoor venues are. I even had a bad experience when a venue overbooked and built a temporary tent for a third of the vendors and we were in a tent. A major rain came in with a nasty temperature drop. We were in an area where the water drained, watching water flow down the aisle when they finally shut us down for safety reasons… |

Somehow, I have a feeling in this process of downsizing and simplifying, you may stumble upon else now unforeseen. |
