show you guys a nice little life tip on how I keep myself from going insane
that's right here comes the woowoo so I preached affirmations before and
I'm gonna preach it again every day I write down in a notebook my name is
Dustin Wonderlic from this room I will change the world if I can have any job
in the world what would it be I have the perfect job for me let's stop right
there if I could have any job in the world what would it be
here's part of it while I'm in the middle of new construction of greenhouse
2.0 the Newport Aquarium hits me up and they want me to help them with not one
not two but three aquariums I was actually up at the Newport Aquarium on
Thursday the first tank we're gonna redo is a 900 gallon Mekong River tank next
thing we're gonna do is a 900 gallon Rio Negro tank and then they've got an
entirely new Africa exhibit you guys can actually come and watch me aquascape my
first-ever 900 gallon aquarium live soon details to follow so yeah I got a little
omen from a higher power that I might be heading in the right direction
back to the affirmations but I could have any job in the world what would it
be I have the perfect job for me my goal is to help people through my service and
2.0 will have live events I strive to be the best in the world at what I enjoy
doing I enjoy setting up fish tanks I look at the best
in all situations I will not worry about things that I cannot control more on
that in a minute I work hard at these things and I understand that you can't
get what you or D wants in life without paying the price and I'm paying the
price and enduring the suffering the part that sucks that most people don't
want to do to get it I'm going to postpone short-term gratification that's
right feeling good right now for my long-term life goals oh by the way a
year ago at this time I was working on bail point Oh diligently thinking I'd be
open by the end of the year quick recap for them in January Justin officially
loses green house fail point no 11 people show up to my meeting and kill
the deal and I've been working on since May of the year prior to that not a big
deal we regroup and we find land in Jessamine County not Fayette Nam where
we're gonna go buy and build what we want people in life don't get what they
want cuz they don't know what they want I know what I want I know where I want
to end inane and fail point oh I go to speak to the city of Nicholasville about
my plans to buy this property and what I'm gonna do on this property before I
buy the property because I don't want to waste any time
serendipitously while I'm meeting with the city of Nicholasville I get a phone
call from the police because apparently the lady who up killed green house fail
point Oh didn't like me putting her house on video oh well during that MIDI
the people of Nicholasville decide it's not a big deal for Dustin to build a
green house because the property I'm looking at is don't be one and basically
say yeah dude you're good to go come join us down here in Jessamine
County fast forward to April 20th or 4/20 bro dustin closes on ninety-five
thousand dollar piece of property in Jessamine County Zone B one where I can
do whatever I want I also confirmed with everyone around me
what I was going to do and they were all cool as heck during the month of April I
get with engineers when you hear the word engineers think you're gonna spend
a lot of money I have engineers design a final development plan I'm set to
present that final development plan on the Tuesday after Memorial Day around
May 30th at 7:30 I'm set to meet with them to confirm what I am doing
officially at 7:07 on may 30th I get a call from my engineer saying it that
there's no power at the city hall and that the meeting is
postponed for a month in the words of the legendary hip-hop lyricist mr. nasty
now time is money when it comes to mind taking in blood and guess what they took
it in blood cuz it took another 30 days on my timetable before June 30th when my
final development was actually approved and I could begin construction and
there's a lot just he goes on vacation with his family while I'm on vacation
with my family I still manage to submit the plumbing permits to get myself water
on the property because in July in Kentucky water + Sun equals dust and
growing plants on his new land that's costing in money every month might as
well make some money on it I don't know what I'm doing is I've never general
contracting anything before so I can salt my father-in-law poppy who says get
it up on grade first so I got the plumbing permit handy but I don't have
it up on grade I go to get her up on grade no issue one guy six grand one
guy's ten grand I go with the guy who's six my guy who's doing it for six grand
tells me it's probably a good idea to lay down a bunch of number two's at the
construction to have a nice little construction entrance why not I'm under
budget one guy was ten one guy six let's do it we lay down a bunch number twos as
a construction entrance we also get this sucker up on grade I can either go find
dirt for 75 bucks to load or I can raise it up with fifty sevens or very small
rocks which gets me up onto grade no I don't know what I don't know because
I've never done this before but we actually had to use a skidder and dig
back through the thirty seven hundred dollars worth of fifty seven rocks to
dig these yard hydrants 36 inches deep into the ground hindsight's 2020 it cost
me an extra six hundred bucks I'm still under budget from the guy that was ten
grand no while everything is going smoothly and my plumber is out there
plumbing me to death I get a phone call from him he says yo the building
inspector just called he wants to see you in his office
I guess he pissed he goes now he wasn't too pissed but he needs to meet with you
okay so the building inspector wants to meet with me but I want to point out a
couple of other critical things that are happening to me while this is going on I
had to pay the company that's building my building about five grand just to get
started and then they're actually going and ordering the materials and those
materials are set to be delivered on to site in order to lay them down on the
site I have to lay them down I have to spend more money on more twos I drop
another thousand bucks to get the twos laid down so they can deliver
this building okay the building's about to be delivered when the building is
delivered I owe the company that I'm getting the building built by sixteen
thousand dollars the problem is the building inspector wants to meet with me
about said building if anyone has ever built anything or work with general
contractors on a timetable this sentence might sound familiar to you oh yeah
we'll have this thing built by the end of September don't worry about it
yeah it's November and I still don't have a building up yet
let me explain a few things there's a few things in life that I'm above
average at buildings and building codes and meeting with building inspectors is
not one of them okay I figure heck I'm paying these dudes about 30 G's to build
me a building the building inspector once and me I'm not building it they're
building it's their money and I've paid then hey you guys fill me with the
building inspector and figure this out I send in Brandon building inspector wants
to meet I've never built a building before there's a project manager on the
scene named Brandon Brandon's big dude Brandon rides motorcycles brandon has
tattoos all over his arm Brandon smoke cigarettes in Brandon has built multiple
buildings in Nicholasville before we send in Brandon Brandon goes and meets
at the building inspector Brandon calls me back
Brandon sounds like a dog with his tail tucked between his legs just got
punished for taking a crap on the carpet Brandon lightens me on the following
things yeah man you got a bunch of work to do
before we get this thing going we are general contracting this thing you
haven't even signed the final development plan yet I do know I had to
sign the final development plan I've never done this before no one told me I
had to sign anything yeah he also says you got to redo the sill fences and lay
felt down underneath your construction entrance wait a minute
I just paid people to go put those twos down so I could have a nice construction
entrance now you're telling me I got to pay somebody to lift those twos up pay
to put the felt down under and then pay to put the rocks back over it wonderful
yeah he says you also we also need to have engineered prints from this
building here's what I'm learning when you're doing construction you hear the
words engineering think dollars leaving your wallet
here's goes me forking out more money when I hear I got to get engineers
involved I call the original owner of the building company yeah what's up man
no I want to do I want to talk with you about what we got to do to get this
building going I've cut you a check for five g's and another 16 when the
building head still don't have anything to show for it
and I'm wondering you told me you'd do 100 buildings here now here's my
question how do you do 100 buildings a year yet you don't know we need to have
engineered prints for this building how does that happen please explain that to
me Oh oh okay yeah all right you said the words to me you said the words to me
you said oh yeah Nicholasville loves our buildings they have no problem
inspecting our buildings now I need to go spend more money to get engineered
prints how did this slip through the cracks
I'm usually a nice happy person I say a lot of positive affirmations and I try
to keep a smile on my face but sometimes doing new construction you have to get a
little bit angry deeb is a little bit angry now to be fair to the guy building
this building yours truly did not mention that it was
actually on a commercial property when he originally quoted this job perhaps if
I had brought that up earlier in the stages he would know oh it's commercial
you're gonna make sure we do have to have all the engineered prints and
whatnot for this building however that doesn't change the fact that engineered
prints still need to be had and that's gonna slow down my timetable even more I
still have to meet with the building inspector now now I've never met what
the building inspector before I've got a vision of kind of what he looks like a
guy kind of around Poppy's age mid to late 60s only meaner and needs rookie
contractors like me for lunch I'm trying to avoid this meeting because I'm going
into a gunfight with a knife I moved the email I'm like all right I just want to
make sure I have our ducks in a row so we can get this building permit here I
need to sign the final development Docs I need to make sure I get felt
underneath the drive entrance of the construction site I need to repair the
silt fences and I need to make sure that the engineer that we have engineered
prints for the building is there anything else I need to move forward
with this building permit again I'm trying to avoid a meeting he replies why
