We built three concrete homes last week


It takes a lot of time and energy to build a house.

If the house is erected properly, it will take quite a bit of time. I work on houses as an ironworker. It’s my job to use the rebar, tie wire, and loop ties to create a structure that resembles a house. After that, the next crew comes to the house to fill the rebar with concrete. My crew and I completed the rebar on three different projects last week. We ran out of rebar tie wire towards the middle of the third job. Thank goodness I have a company to handle supplies and they are close to the job site. Most of my jobs are local. I prefer it that way, so I don’t have to keep a huge stock of rebar, rebar tie wire, and loop ties in my office. These items take up a lot of space. If I can have the items delivered to the job site when I am getting ready to begin, then I don’t ever have to stock anything or pay the overhead to have extra rebar supplies on hand. I buy my rebar products from a company north of the city. The metal company sells rebar, loop ties, and coils of rebar wire. The place has a great reputation for being one of the best in the business. They always have the lowest prices around. They must check the market every single day. The prices seem to be updated. They charge a little bit more money for American-made rebar and rebar tie wire, but I expect that from a company that deals with steel products.
