Jim’s responsibilities on projects include planning and land use permits, design and construction documents, and construction administration.

Because there is a long list of things for me to do at home that I’m really not all that crazy about getting done. You know, caulk the tub, repair the leaky faucet in the garage sink, finish the remodel on the spare bathroom, transplant that ornamental grass that is getting much bigger than the book said it would....

How can you compare that with writing specifications; ‘red-lining’ other people’s drawings; going to one meeting after another; proof-reading and spell-checking plant legends; explaining that even though the building didn’t change, moving it a few feet does affect the site plan; calling to see where that last billing is....

Then again, there is fishing, golf, good food and drink, reading, daydreaming.....
