Used a paper log book on a 60 unit job in Reno for 8 months before my foreman showed me a $12 app
I kept tracking my daily crew counts and pour tickets in a spiral notebook like my old boss taught me back in 2015, and I spent every Friday night retyping it all into a spreadsheet at the kitchen table. My foreman watched me do this for two weeks straight, then pulled out his phone and showed me a simple daily report app that logged everything with photos and time stamps right from the site. How are you all handling daily logs on smaller jobs where the big software fees don't make sense?
Wait, you were retyping the whole paper log into a spreadsheet every Friday night for eight months? That is wild. The part that gets me is that nobody said anything for two whole weeks while your foreman just watched you do it. That is two Friday nights you could have spent literally anywhere else. Eight months of kitchen table typing for something a phone app does on site in real time.
