    Its a little better then the Hoover Dam scaffolding. No A35 clips in the first pic, Shear nailing with shiners and no stamp, nice "outriggers" Sheetrock blocking?

    Chinese Contractors?

    Hello, I am surprised it took me so long to find this forum. I like it. Stating "Chinese Contractor" is far from racist.
