Get ready for an exciting update on the construction project undertaken by Carolyn and Joshua McMahon! You won't believe the progress they've made and the challenges they've faced along the way.

From clearing the lot to pouring concrete, Carolyn and Joshua have been working tirelessly to bring their vision to life. They even had to deal with rain delays in Richmond, but that didn't stop them. With the help of a pump truck, they were able to dig the footer and pour concrete. It wasn't without its costs though, as they had to pour two loads and spend $1000 on the pump truck.

But that's not all, they encountered bad dirt at the front of the lot, which resulted in an unexpected $2500 cost to dig down to solid ground. However, they found a way to save money by stepping the foundation and ordering stones for backfill before a price increase on July 1st, saving them $1000.

Now, let me tell you about Carolyn's hilarious experience at the construction site. Picture her in her office attire, having to put on mud boots and joking with the truck driver about her outfit being sexy. It's moments like these that make the journey even more memorable.

Despite the delays and challenges, Carolyn and Joshua are determined to get the foundation right. They understand the financial implications of any delay and are paying for everything out of pocket. They've even had their credit card denied due to multiple stone charges! But they're not letting that stop them.

Inspections are up next, and they're hoping for a smooth process. They've had past experiences with inspectors not showing up, and they know the consequences of pouring concrete without an inspection. It's all about getting things right and not causing any issues for the trades involved.

Joshua shares his insights on the risks and challenges they face in the construction process. Inspections have slowed things down, and failing one can result in a two-day delay. It's frustrating, but they're committed to doing things right and not rushing through the process.

Carolyn adds a funny story about Joshua's growth as a builder, reminiscing about how he used to think he was "the man" back in 2007-2008. Now, he's learned the importance of logistics and coordination, making sure everyone involved in the project is on the same page.

They both express their excitement for the next phase of the project, where they'll see the foundation being laid and the structure taking shape. They're grateful for the opportunity to build and acknowledge the risks and uncertainties involved.

The thing that makes the construction industry so special is the willingness of people to share their wisdom and lessons learned with others. This episode was a lot of fun as both Charles and Joshua are passionate about process improvement and Jesse Hernandez is a leader in the Lean Construction space. This is a conversation with Jesse where we allow him to nerd out and share as much about Lean as he was willing to share.
There will be more episodes in the future as this was the most fun episode we have recorded and there is a lot of actionable content for all of us to soak in.

Charles and Josh discuss the reality of burnout in the construction industry in hopes of encouraging others to open up about their struggles and challenges. This episode should be powerful for more than just the construction industry as most people do experience burnout or the feeling of being overwhelmed and nobody is alone in this reality.
