Studs

Katlin Greene had that feeling again. That rock-in-the-stomach sensation that had become all too familiar since she'd begun working as an estimator for G and G Construction. Gene, her boss and half owner of the company, had just presented her with another of his "wunnerful" ideas. This time he offered her the position of Project Superintendent, overseeing the construction of a mini-mart/gas station. Once again she should have heeded the warning of her stomach. But as usual, she didn't.When Gene promised her a place to stay while she supervised the out of town project, she envisioned a nice, clean, modern motel. What she got was Ol' Blue - an old, decrepit pickup with a camper securely rusted on top of it. All of her life she had successfully managed to avoid any and all forms of camper life, but now was faced strange and new things RVish, such as trailer dumping stations and camper showering techniques. Her first day on the job she discovered that Gene hadn't bothered to tell her that the project was already two weeks behind schedule, the only subcontractor he had hired was the concrete sub who was also the town drunk, and the engineering reports for the soils and permits for the building were incomplete. Despite her minimal knowledge of commercial construction and her complete lack of Project Superintendent experience, she manages to creatively overcome all of the weird and wacky challenges that pop up on the project. The work is made easier with the help and support of a few new friends who are, um, very interesting characters.
