Re: Anyone familiar with Section 8 housing in S.C. (Good pos
Posted by Will Rogers on 7/05/07


    I worked for John Wieland Homes as a Neighborhood Production Coordinator. It
    was my job to ensure all the labor and meterials were at each jobsite/home on
    schedule, the production schedule was maintained for each house, and support
    the team of builders directing construction at each house.

    I also completed the permitting process for each house, directed inspections
    for each house, monitored the budgets of each house/lot.

    When 9-11 happened, the stock market crashed, and 20% of the company was laid
    off. I worked for a parking lot company for a bit after that, but when the
    shopping in atlanta area died down, so did the job there.

    My wife wanted to return to her home in Western PA, and we did. (I'm here now
    since nov 2003) The only problem is jobs are leaving this place like planes
    launching off an aircraft carrier! Oh well.

    I liked Wieland, and my work - challenging and never dull, to be sure! Feel
    free to e-mail me directly if you like, no problem.
