Is that really the best we can do for an award?

 

Award for contractor of the year 

Awards in the field of construction aren’t quite like other industries. Construction awards are not quite the posing sports figure, not the pretty crystal plaque with the etched writing, or the golden championship cup.

An award for achievement often times comes in the form of a cheesy gold colored hammer. I wonder if I can use this on the job site.

Not the most impressive award Tom, but it could be a gold plunger.

Look at it through a different prism.  It's a little man, laying on his back, with a huge spike in his chest!  Woohoo!

Does that make you feel better?

It's mostly a product of my imagination Hella.  :)

 

Plumbers have all the cool trophies Roger.  lol

 

I guess there really aren't many bad awards Jordon.

 

I like the hammer better Jay.  :)

Doubt if you can use either of these lovely awards for anything. We keep them around for a while and then realize they are only for good memories.  Maybe that's enough.

Would be better if there was a thumb underheath the hammer's head.

I don't know if it would be better, but it would be a conversation piece for sure. I wonder if I could add that.

Thanks for the idea Than.

Hi Jay, It is the award that counts and not the trophy itself. Congratulations, I am sure it was well deserved!

You bring up a good point William, it's not the trophy itself that is important.
