How'd it go today?

[brendonv]

Worked with my brother, the fence guy, the last 2 days. We are building a customer a custom arbor/pergola out of very old salvaged barn timbers. Took a lot of time trying to figure out the cuts to get these thing situated.

Day one we lifted the first beam up top, just about had a hernia . So today we took MY tools. Hoisted that baby right up. Finished the day with the beam up, bolted in, with faux pegs to hide the steel bolts. Monday we gotta cut all the top beams with a whirly do at the end.

Oh, started the day with a screw driver stabbed through my palm .

Cool project.

I am home sick procrastinating on doing some bids and banking. My head feels like it wants to explode but I don't want to get behind on my bids.

 

[sotc]

that looks cool brendon, im on hold with ODOT and still have to go bid jobs

 

[Old Monkey]

ODOT? Is it contagious? That sounds pretty bad Willie. I am sure penicillin will clear that up.

 

[Tom_Scheller]

Aside from the SHEAR PANIC of not being able to find the Treehouse this evening, I had a rather lovely day!

TS

 

[gf beranek]

We're back on line!

 

[sotc]

it takes more than penicillen to cure a state agency

 

[MasterBlaster]

We're back on line!

Damn, I was gone all day. Musta been a UFO flyby...

Oh, started the day with a screw driver stabbed through my palm .

Damn, was it really bad or just a scratch??? Sorry to hear.

 

[top hopper]

I didnt notice!

When I logged in, I logged in!

 

[Old Monkey]

I finally got out for my bids just as the thunder, lighting and hail showed up. I got a $750 job that would be quick and easy with a Hobbs or GRCS, to bad work here does not seem to merit their expense.

Steve, what kind of trees are just beyond your garden? They look like some sort of fruit tree's.

Those are the neighbor's almond trees Virginia They are just finishing blooming and it looks like they will be loaded again this year. I think they are 7 years old or so. There was peaches there before the almonds. They were pretty yummy also.

My contract climber guy doesn't want to work for me anymore because he says that I am mad at him. WTH, I love the guy, or I did anyway. My bucket truck is still a week off or so and I'm not in the mood for any drama. Well I'm never in the mood for drama, but you know what I mean He speaks no english what so ever so I"m sure there could be a communication problem in telling him that I'm not mad at him. One trouble is that I am mad at him now. I'm about 3/4 of the way through a 16K job and am salivating thinking of the payday. I'm torn weather to try and climb these trees myself or to concentrate on getting my truck together. If I only had to climb the trees it wouldn't be so bad but my guys are equipment retards and only one of them has a drivers license. So I have to load the stuff and haul it to the dump. Am I whining? My kid would be really good help right now but he is in the middle of trying to finish all his homework to finish high school and I don't want to hinder that. He is finally taking his work seriously(yahoo).

 

[MasterBlaster]

I can't imagine attempting to work with someone who doesn't understand the wurdz that are coming outta my mouth.

 

[stehansen]

I did it all the time when I was farming.

 

[sawinredneck]

I've got a headache and four new stitches in my finger.
Other tha that, my day pretty well...............





















SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I'm going to have a bald head in less than 12 hours, I need the antifreeze to go down smoothly.

 

[Paul B]

[fishhuntcutwood]

Amen. I'll take mine neat.

 

[brendonv]

It went in pretty good and far. I'll live though.

 

[SkwerI]

Steve, offer the climber an extra $20 per day or whatever. That might convince him that you're not mad at him.

 

[Cobleskill]

I stuck a chain saw file into the palm of my hand once. I had gloves on but that didn't help. Should have a handle on it. Dohhhhhh
