my ass.
I picked up a little side job from an old friend of mine earlier this week to write several specifications for a project out at the Space Center. It's a pretty straightforward job for Lockheed Martin but the specs they want are insane. I will spend all evening tomorrow, all day Saturday and all day Sunday to trim them up and ship them out. The whole gig pays two and a half grand, which is pretty good jack, but I will spend the first dry weekend in three months stuck inside. Oh well, sometimes we just have to do what we have to do. I downloaded a pretty cool database called SpecsIntact, which is pretty easy to find and hijack, and learned how to use it last year. All of the specs are for removal of paints with hazardous constituents [RCRA metals and PCB's], Asbestos and universal waste removal, storage and disposal requirements. Pretty easy stuff but boring as hell. I have to go through this thing line by line, selectively editing them to tailor the spec to the job at hand and include all State and municip[al requirements that may blend with Federal requirements. Those citations I have to look up myself and insert.
Wish me luck.:wave:
