I just purchased the plans for the Cecil County Health Center in Conawingo, MD. The total project cost will come in around $2 million, however at this time, I do not have the bonding capacity for this job. I’d like to partner with another general contractor or subcontractor that could make up the difference in bonding this. It is a fantastic project that would provide healthcare experience as well as be a nice source of income for the year long project.
Twitt er has some amazing capabilities that most people do not know about. Everyone assumes that Twitter is a way to let everyone know what they are doing every minute of everyday. Some individual users may use it for this purpose, but that doesn’t mean you have to listen.

My conclusion today about the code is no different than it was one year ago: The IgCC is unnecessarily confusing. Take, for instance, the IgCC's basic setup -- it's two codes in one.
