Once I got the dump trailer I started to do free garbage removal for my clients. Well the first one is free the other ones I have to charge. But instead of throwing everything away I am able to take specific loads and instead of going to the dump we went to the scrap yard which we then use that money towards the build. Saving the client even more money on the project.BIG DOG CONSTRUCTION is a firm believer in helping the environment and we do our part. That was 1855 gallon drums filled with almost a thousand gallons of water on a Improv thermal heating system that was built incorrectly which the condensation mixed with the clear plexiglass panels was causing the rafters on fire.Once I got the dump trailer I started to do free garbage removal for my clients.

Hello everyone I just wanted to show the trim going on. Kind of doing everything all at once trim electrical and plumbing to get it finished this week,I will post finished photos as well as the time lapse video.
People seem to hate the fact that I do the entire build. I have been told I'm not a master Carpenter I've been told nobody can do electrical and plumbing as well as everything else. But the fact remains I did start Excavating on April 8th I laid the block framed the house, I sided it, I did the electrical and plumbing (with clients help) I hung all the drywall, painted it I've set the cabinets I will finish the stairs the hand railing all the trim and hook up all the appliances, all this done by one person I had help 50% of the time, going on five and a half months but actual working days are about 110. All done by one company no subcontractors that's pretty impressive. On top of saving my clients over $65,000 which they use to upgrade their house. That's the kind of service you receive with BIG DOG Construction
