This here thing, they call it JLC Black, I heard some folks talking ’bout it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? I reckon it’s somethin’ important, maybe like them fancy watches them rich folks wear. I seen them city folk with them shiny things on their wrists. This JLC must be like that, all shiny and black.
I heard someone say it’s like a book, but not just any book. They say it’s a book that helps them build houses. Now, I ain’t never built no house with a book, but I guess times are changin’. This JLC Black, it must be full of all sorts of know-how, the kind you need to put up a good, strong house. I remember my pappy, he built our house with his own two hands, didn’t need no book. But like I said, things are different now.
They say you can get a “quote” for somethin’ called “parts.” Now, what in tarnation does that mean? Sounds like they’re sellin’ pieces of somethin’. Maybe it’s like when I go to the market and buy a piece of fabric for a new dress. But this is for buildin’ houses, so it must be different. I guess if you need to build somethin’, this JLC Black thing can tell you how much it’ll cost ya.
- First thing, you gotta have a good foundation, that’s what my pappy always said.
- Then you put up the walls, strong and sturdy.
- And don’t forget the roof, gotta keep the rain out!
There’s also something called a “LiveChat”. Seems like you can talk to someone through this thing. You can ask them whatever question you have. You can ask about their PCB, their service or whatever. No need to go lookin’ for answers, just type it in and there you have it. Lord knows I could have used that when I was tryin’ to figure out how to use that newfangled washing machine. Back in my day, we just used the washboard and the creek. It is so convenient. I should have one.
And they got somethin’ called a “PCB quote” for only $2! That’s cheaper than a bag of chicken feed! What is PCB? I don’t know. But it must be important if it’s in this JLC Black thing. And they say you can check the “design” with an “online Gerber viewer.” Now that just sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me. But I guess if you’re buildin’ a house, you need to know about these things. This JLC Black, it’s like a whole different language, ain’t it?
They say this JLC Black is from a company called “Hanley Wood.” Sounds like a lumber company, don’t it? They know about houses and buildin’. Maybe they’re the ones who made this JLC Black thing. They must be smart folks, knowin’ all about this “residential” and “commercial” stuff. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds mighty important. And they have this “marketing services” too, whatever that is. You know, young people these days always talk about these things.
This JLC Black thing, it’s got all the questions that builders ask. They put them all in one place, so you don’t have to go lookin’ for answers. That’s mighty handy, I reckon. Like havin’ all your recipes in one cookbook. I got an old cookbook, passed down from my grandma, full of all sorts of good stuff. This JLC Black must be like that, but for buildin’ houses instead of cookin’ food.
They say this JLC Black is a “Field Guide to Residential Construction.” Sounds official, don’t it? It’s got information on “interior systems” and “features.” I don’t know what them city folks are doin’ with these things, but it all sounds so fancy. My house, it’s just got walls, a floor, and a roof. But these new houses, they must be somethin’ else.
They say this JLC Black is a “reference book.” That means you can look things up in it, like a dictionary. It’s organized in the order of construction. That’s helpful, I guess. You can start at the beginning and work your way through, just like buildin’ a house. Start with the foundation and end with the roof. It is like when I bake a cake. I must follow the steps one by one.
They talk about “prep work” for a “kitchen cabinet installation.” Now I know a thing or two about kitchens. My kitchen, it’s the heart of the home. That’s where I bake my pies and cook my stews. But these “cabinets,” they must be fancy. And they need to be installed, whatever that means. I guess if you’re gonna have a fancy kitchen, you need this JLC Black to tell you how to do it right. I don’t know how to install a cabinet. I only know how to cook.
Someone said they’re gettin’ a “Code Check” set. Sounds like somethin’ you need to make sure everything is up to snuff. Like checkin’ the eggs to make sure they ain’t rotten. You gotta make sure everything is right before you start buildin’. This JLC Black, it’s like a safety net, I reckon. It makes sure you don’t make no mistakes.
And then I heard about this fella who likes them JLC Black watches. Says they’re good for business meetings and family vacations. I reckon if you got one of them fancy watches, you must be doin’ alright for yourself. This man likes quality and precision. You know, like a good pair of shoes, they gotta be well-made and last a long time. This JLC is different from Rolex. Rolex is famous. Maybe JLC is more expensive and better than Rolex. I don’t know. I ain’t never had a fancy watch. Just my old wedding ring, that’s all I need. These things are too complicated for me. And I am too old for that.
