    Francisco really is a great guy. I think he goes a little underrated on the channel some times. He always shows up on time, never seems tired, uses his initiative and gets the work done. He really does listen too when he's spoken too and doesn't try to blame everyone else. Good Work.

It is hard to run a business. You will need someone you can really trust to handle the financial/paperwork and customer service side of the business. All things Francisco probably doesn't know much about. I think he realizes that and that's why he chooses to keep working for Ryan. It's a lot less stress that way.

    There are 2 different kind of bosses, the ones that gives you the task and let you think for youreself and the one who micromanages.
    I think you are the second kind Ryan,
    I worked for this kind of bosses, I always get scared to not make mistakes to the point I don’t do anything unless asked to.
    I prefer the kind who just gives me the task and let me to it, usually the job gets done faster and better than the boss expected.
    Guess what? The people who work under me impress me in the good way all the time, I let them do the job the best they know, if they don’t do it right I just tell them how to do it after I see it doesn’t look like it’s getting done right.
    That’s what my father taught me: “Allow people to make mistakes , and learn from them”
    But as for you, you are a perfectionist, if things don’t go perfect, you explode.
    People are afraid to make you upset, and avoid taking initiative, just to not make mistakes.

    Ryan, I hope you get a chance to read this. Times can get frustrating even for the boss. May I make a suggestion this is from years of leading in the military. Friday's need to be pep talk days for you and your team. What wen't right during the week what does the team need to do to work better together. You had every reason to be frustrated. People need to quit sitting around and look around to see what needs to be done next. These guys know the job already but they seem to get spaced out when it comes to the flow of things. Sure each job is a little different but when the boss goes to start ripping up concrete if the truck isn't around then the boys need to wake up. Critiquing yourself and the crew once a week will get everyone in line. you already have a good team its some little things that will make them a great team.

      why wait till he gets older? buy him a hammer, tape measure, etc. and give him some 2x4's and see what happens. if he shows interest, send him to trade school or union. there, you get paid to learn and some trade schools help with job placement. ive been in concrete since '95 and a finisher since '97 but along the way ive picked up other skills in construction and mechanical knowhow. since i live on the frozen prairie, we only work 6-8 months of the year so we get a nice, long vacation. im on salary year round so its paid vacation for me.
      ive been in concrete for almost 30 yrs and before that, some siding, roofing and brick tending so 35 yrs in the trades as im 50 yr old now. i dont regret any of it. i made a good living for only having a 10th grade education. but ive learned more real world knowledge than they will ever teach in schools. that is if they even teach anything these days thats applicable to living daily life. sad to think that kids these days will be printing their names instead of writing it. with the way schools are going, if you want your kid to have a normal life, get him working now so he'll want to go into the trades and shy away from "higher" education.

      That job needed three blokes minimum, not two. Two to roll it out very slowly while third goes behind using the hand roller to ensure no bubbles. That stuff is super heavy and the adhesive super strong, you really do only get one shot. Two blokes will never get that nice even if they've done it for years. Live and learn 😐

That old adhesive that was yellow and smelled horrible and u had to put the glue on the insulation broad and one the rubber. Once they made contact it was over u wasn't moving moving it at all.

My dad owns a remodeling company and he’s also had me bid and do my own jobs before.
