My past three days have been textbook chaos.

We decided to tear down the old garden shed and build a new one. Work was slow so I started the demo on Tuesday, got it down to the slab and found out how badly sloped the slab was 2 inches to the east 1 inch to the west. Decided heck its a tool shed I'll just build up the east and west to level and call it good.

Go to big box store purchase stuff, while in the store my phone blows up with trouble calls and customers needed parts right now. Get the stuff home, take the next couple of hours helping customers.

Tuesday night why the h e double hockey sticks do people still need approval. Fight that till late thirty.

Wednesday morning more customer stuff. Get started building up slab to level. Phone explodes.Get the slab level. Do a late afternoon service call.

Why the h e double hockey sticks do people still need approval. Fight that till late thirty.

Thursday morning service call to local customer. Head to big box store to buy framing material.Get a call from another service guy, he is at the customer I just left 2 hours ago. Hey I here checking on this and I can't get it to do this.

Well that lit my fuse, "Your supposed to be a %#$555_)(&# service guy you're at Xcompany to fix something they never told me was broke and now you want my help to fix it"

So I got there in about an hour. Diagnosed the problem told the other guy what it was and how to fix it. He decided he wasn't staying. Worked up until company X closed up shop.

Unload framing lumber.

Why the h e double hockey sticks do people still need approval. Fight that till late thirty. I think I finally found the issue.

Friday morning back to company X had to remap about 30 lines of MCL.

Start building walls, get two walls done and one of the grandsons shows up to help. We got 4 walls standing and the siding on two.

Now I'm so whipped I don't know if I'll be able to move in the morning when it's time to go back to work.

Where should I start? We are in the process of gutting and redoing a house on some land we recently bought. It's our dream piece of property. Pretty much any extra money we have, and time has been devoted here for the past two months. You would just have to see the before pictures to believe it. We are very excited about the project. But....Low and behold I get an email that I'm losing 30% of my business with one email. This is a very hard pill to swallow. I'm considering whether to even stay in the business at all now. But the construction will continue on our property. It's not a huge house, a cabin really but that's all we need, the land is great. We started a garden, got about 30 tomato plants, 25 peppers,zhuchinni, squash, cucumber, beans, corn and eggplant. We are total rookies at this, but it has been a fun experience. I really need to get my resume in order.

But I've been self employed going on 12 years now. Will be tough working for the man again.

I hope you get some time to relax this weekend...even though I have a feeling you will be busy the entire weekend putting out small fires all over virtual space .
Have a great weekend.

SS, thank you for the hard work to get this board up and running.

Sounds like "board admin" is not all they advertised it would be.
Bet Kevin could tell you stories.

Grassman.......that really bites!
Sure hope it all works out for you.
