YES! There are design/build firms that will take your basic design and draw up some plans for you. Most of those firms also have engineers on staff to handle any out of the ordinary stuff.
Well, It never rains, but it pours!
Remember the 'city' job that I was considered for before? Well, the person they hired then did ~not~ work out, and they asked for me. I am set to go up there on Friday to ~try~ and see. The person I will be working for I get the sense is ~not~ easy.
This is really problematic! It's an hour drive each way, a stressful job for good money, but a lifestyle change for sure, and the problem is my existing job, which I wouldn't be giving up really, was about to get busier and make more money also. I had been working for a pretty small stipend, but there are now funds available to make it nearly full time again if we wanted. Of course there would be added work to do for it also.
We need the money of course... Question is how much can I do? And I'd need help! ecurbh is making pretty good money on web design, but that may be on again off again depending on contracts he can get.
Can I go into this job asking for 3/4 time or 4-10s or even 4-8s as just a condition of the job? It's a long commute to do 5 days. And working 4 days would allow me to do the other job too.
Problems and decisions! It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life!
