EXPERIMENTING WITH WORK OF:
DEVELOPER/CONTRACTOR/BUILDER.

-2008 AARON STORCK

Escapist/Artist. - use of Black Mageck as metaphor.

Plots of land the size of Tibetan open landscape in magazine pic, open range like shaved monk head, ripe pickin's. Manhandle it like China over ineffectual D.Lama methods contrived in bald skull. Mowed it off! Too late! Undergrowth veg. cut out, burnt off and trashed. Some for landscaping mulch use later. Wisdom council no necessary from the dolly man. Not Now.

Sunshine smile on scope of new plans. Fever pitch of totally justified excitement in form of land & equipment lease/ A.R. loans multi millions, and purchase of prime swathe 1,000 acres worth. Eager community has developed a thirst for a cut of these. Persuasion of city for no tax is as candy/baby. Atheistic nature methods of course share traits in common with classical black magick practice. It has always been.. all about the creativity.

Gathering of material now in April bloom, year twenty hundred. New stuff, nervous excitement and occasional fuckups during: laying of roads, sewer, and electrical post-up. So much money on the line! Experiment with liberal use of method and concept, find a new and crooked way forward, nothing like the work of other developers. Dank in the mind. Mental musts conceive of new funk in construction language. A blizzard of blueprints to max out these: only the most premier of homes. New angles and architectural schemes dizzle dazzle luxury garages, grand foyers opening into great rooms with vaulted ceilings and different type kitchen arrangements. Faux fireplaces and sprawling back decks. Layouts of skill and grace with wizard touch.

Initiate hiring of specialized crews and contracts. Scheme with team of bright advisors at worksite. Drawing out plans and symbols all over earthen landscape in orange and green spraypaint is exciting. Little flags everywhere look festive and speak to our ambition for this place. A line of liberals protesting loss of habitats look silly as a prodigious cloud of dust settles on them from back and forth bulldozer action, choking black diesel exhaust on them is lots of fun. Spit juice of chew around and back to business. Only the best for our crews! Pencil-in details on the spot and adjustments to plans.

Gorgeous May weather and days of our work's beginning is joie de vivre. Bobcat Machine and Ditch Witch team up with dump truck and backhoe to remove boulders and lay out lumber and staples for basement foundations with reebar. Extra concrete poured on and slathered around for good measure. Make the crews (against much advising) build in the staircases immediately and bring the siding over to get it ready. Some guys would be grumbling but they clam up when the deluxe snack wagon is introduced. It is announced that all crews will take what they want from the snackwagon- anytime- all at the expense of the developer/wiz.

Sweat soaked brow drip down under eyes and make salty taste. Tongue rainbow stain from: bomb pop, fruit rollup, glass of red wine, cherry Kool Aids plural. Film of hydrogenated orange color seasoned oils and processed animal fats from Slim Jims in throat, on teeth, lining gums, and basically defining breath with jerky essence. Hard work tossin' sledge hammer to make re-do on concrete foundations mistake, jackhammer use and hydraulic lever to pry it out. Body needs sustenance from snacks like these. 20-pack of Camels or Marlboros. Wash the burnt cigg taste down with Gatorades plural. Use a Mountain Dew 32-oz on ice followed by a blast of wintergreen Kodiak or Skoal chews. Weather break and boom! Rain down on us. Double rainbow in sky is good omen.

Fresh burst of energy coursing through veins on hot summer day doing contractor/builder big money framing work in cul-de-sac 99 degrees June holiday. Sun beat on bald brains/red craftman scalp while saw lumber. Sawdust soaring in giant arc- shooting out of screaming table saw whine in movement like asteroid belt in condensed time frame. Wood dust fly into open window of soon-to-be master bedroom-bathroom suite. 2 toilets, a heated floor, (covered with crumpled snack packages), a triple size hot tub all dusty, and his and hers shower heads. Tile all out of wack with caulking fucked up. Coffee spilled all over carpeting around toilets from the man paid to install the heat lamps and ceiling tile. He spilled it on accident. Extinguished cigg butt on carpet- on accident. Brand new cabinet fittings and posey door glass trimmings. 64 micro-ply epoxy shred board with digital oak veneer: white, red, or dusky pink. Sexual innuendo of inner pink with g-string conceal beaver/bush on Cheri magazine cover by toilet. Dark yellow 3 day old piss rots in (hers) toilet, reeking in post urea bacterial phases, evidence of toxins percentage in savagely dehydrated contractor's body. Sweltering July heat index with most windows shut. Precipitate hang in air by ceiling fan.

Hopping in and out of pick-up trucks, 2000 model Ford F-150's F-250's and F-350's. All no down payment, all the dudes got 'em. Crew Chief bringin' McDonalds and taco sandwiches to the fellas all over the development. Up and down the smooth lanes, distributing nuggets and fries like Mrs. Claus to the crews. Cases of Busch on ice in the back for when the day is through.

The Gem of the lot, the developer's house, the fanciest and the first and not yet completed, will benefit from extra garage doors. Stroke of thought like lightning bolt realize this necessity. Would be a thing of persuasive and impressive potential to help rake in fresh cash for project of bunny hopping myriad investor loans in creative financial expression. Rearrangement of lumber assemblage to make way for zinc plated Chinese steel, 3 more garage doors is helping in this effort. The motors are going into place, fully automated control function reflect high taste of builder's family style..(known for kind of reputation.) Got 10 Mexicans on this garage install. Drywall screws by the 100 k, tape it in series up and down. Quick time labor magic, and sodas, ice teas, crumpled lunch wrappers of chipotle burrito and sandwich lunch are added as extra reality for time capsule between stud boards entombed.

For 30-pack Corona bottles and $7.50 an hour, six fifty an hour, actually three dollars hours with funky adjustable rate slider, Mexicans can hang with this new payment method. A couple of the leaders among them are paid more.

Following the instructions, these good dudes install: laser red spectrum sensors with Zeiss lens, Dutch engineered parts with Swiss timing, latches of German zinc plated American steel strips screwed in. Actually were Chinese door holding strips. Lens is really Japanese Nikon, no its really Chinese as are sensors and parts and timing which is actually a very good thing. The manufacturing techniques used to make these products are learned from and improved upon the Dutch, Swiss, German, and Japanese methods respectively. These new parts are the best offerings currently on market and represent a terrific solution for an over budget American builder's pursuit of a new kind of first rate luxury.

Gold plated knobs on all the fixtures. Enamel coated knobs and switches where practical, (This is about pragmatism and hard work- breakthroughs are happening constantly.) Plastic switches, knobs, spans, struts, fixtures, and weight bearing parts installed where practicable.

August heat and drenched garments, armpit odors, and moist leather tool harnesses. Shirtless men, skin baked brown and red, smoking cigarettes and listening to heavy metal, rap music, and mexican polka, (the latter only when practicable.) Heavy sweats in buttcrack and balls are magic-dusted with gold bond and baby powders to ease chafing while busting ass to complete 100+ homes in awesome subdivision by October deadline. Cases of beer cans in coolers get drank up along with a favorite combo of the carpenters: Southern Comfort and Mountain Dew. Siding goes up. Roofing goes up.

Wizard self survey the scene, he build it with them in all different guises, through all the heat and dusts. Sit in pickup and wax poetic on names, philosophic dodge and fancy when comes to mind- Twin Oaks On Glistening Pond Estates or Luxury Oaks And Double Maples Estates... Is totally true about the glistening pond- it was dug out and stocked with biting fish, only no water source feeds it so it will be dry in a year. Firestone Creek, Triple Pines Keystone, Sandy Hill Wildflowers/Drive/Street, Brush Fires Lane, Blue Hill Reflect Autumn Woods in Lakeview Manors. A smattering of houses on winding streets around like a cauliflower growth, typical type shit for the most part, except for the few eccentricities woven in, and the several grand houses among them. Surprises within for the homebuyers, pleasant mostly. Completed the list of trifle names that evening and fell asleep with beers in the pickup truck.

Developer master wiz girlfriend show up next day and she horny. Frisky cat as a wild one is, and dangerous too, a lynx or a she-lion, snarling and giggling awaken young demon in pickup. She come around and she can smell the money.

The Landscaping go in last. Young Sugar Maple trees are planted throughout the fair acres. They are a noble kind of maple tree, slow to grow but with the hardest wood, the most sturdy. When the fall comes, the color is a brilliant blaze of yellow and orange on black trunks, Halloween Essence.

September and October. The 30 millions worth of adjustable loan on wizard self is swapped out piece by piece and traded off. Terrific work of salesmanship and creative money mathematics has all the houses sold before completion to this and that interest or individual, every lot except the developers house. No one bids on it?! Wizard is now a newly wealthy man from profits on sales, and especially because of bets against the debts. Piles of cash advance.

His and hers Magick brooms he forges that night out of leftover construction materials, with consummate craft and skill at workspace in grand 8 car garage that stand otherwise empty. Escape route into black night air for the lovers. Glance around wistfully nostalgic in this spooky masterful home of his design that could not make the sale in time. Too bizarre, buyers scaredy, buyer woos of haunted house.

A chase throughout the house! Wizard's back scratched and bleeding. Hysterical lovely Witch lead him at top speed through french doors, through hall, through grand room, across the balcony, up the staircase through Grand room #2, sliding down the banister of back stairway #2, in and out of the rec room, (he almost caught her on their way around the humongous sofa) and running now topless and only in panties due to Wiz's quick fingers, she splash into hot tub in master bedroom suite, with him following inches away. Changing to something sub/super human, growling out Mountain Dew squirts, (hers) and urine play (theirs) in turbulent water and then out of water onto big bed covered in sawdust, tools, and trash. As good as it gets they moan and surge, many orgasms for her and several for him. Many kisses and declarations of love as taste buds are coated with orange Cheetos brand and powerful whiskeys pump magically in the bloodstream.

Drunken and crashing through the rooms in a post-coital quarrel, his and hers anger flares and touches off the fireplace first, and then the candles on the dining table! But soon make up with soft words and kisses- she melt in mans arms. True love know mystery of it. She know his mind and he hers. Problem of final sale soultion appear to each as if in dream. Electrical storm explode deep in basement. Singing a beautiful harmony about finances and insurance coverage in song, lovers mount brooms and escape up up and up.
