another dictionary that I have states: "1. any of several long-winged American goatsuckers..."
- I had to throw that one in... I've been known as a lot of things, but never as a 'goatsucker'.

OK - So perhaps some of the definitions above apply... Some of you may think it all applies - If you are anything like me, you are saying "what the hell is a nightjar? - My grandma talked about a slop jar, but..."
Actually, I decided on the name Nighthawks because I liked Edward Hopper's painting "Nighthawks".

My services consist of the following:
   Rebar Detailing - not a long list :-) Pretty much like all detailers, I will provide placing drawings, in accordance with all the acronyms (i.e. - CRSI, ACI, SPECS, DWGS). The drawings will include bent bar details (like they're any good without em..), mesh, and bar supports. Of course, along with this smorgasbord, you will get full support (good tech word) via phone, email, fax, and any other way you can think (tried telepathy but my mind only makes contact within a 12'-0" radius). I will (as you direct) deal directly with you or the contractor concerning questions etc. during the course of the project.
I provide placing drawings in one of three ways depending on your desire and or the job's usability for the three: (wait let me get my calculator - 1+1... yup, three!)
   Manually - 'give that ole time D-tailing'... The drafting board, parallel bar etc... Drawings are forwarded to you via Airborne Express (or one of the other overnight couriers).
   aSa - Applied Systems Associates (aSa) interactive detailing... which actually requires the combination of manual and/or cad drafting with computer generated placing lists. (some folks love it, some folks ain't so fond of it... and aSa doesn't upgrade it anymore) Drawings are forwarded to you via Airborne Express (or one of the other overnight couriers).
   AutoCAD - If I can get copies of the structural drawing cad files, I am able to provide placing drawings in AutoCAD format. If we have compatible software in common, drawings can be forwarded to you via the Internet (you would plot and/or transmit for approval -- or maybe call be back and tell me to Fed-Ex you some hard copies, "cause the damn things won't plot") or (to be redundant) hard copies can be forwarded via Airborne Express (or one of the other overnight couriers).
I can provide material list in one of two formats... (three, if'n I hav-ta).
   aSa - Applied Systems Associates (aSa) Bar Listing... When used in conjunction with the Interactive Detailing software, it greatly speeds up the takeoff process. Bar List can be forwarded to you via the Internet or faxed (if you don't use aSa).
   Staz Software - This material list can be forwarded to you via fax.
   Excel - (If'n I hav-ta)... I can provide you a material list that can be transmitted via the internet or faxed using Microsoft's Excel.

I am always interested in boosting production (no cost of living raises in the detailing business) - so if you have some suggestions or recommendations for other software, please let me know.

In all seriousness, in the event that I might be of service to you, please contact me. I enjoy long term relationships with many of my customers, and would enjoy the same opportunity with you.
