Day: July 7, 2023

Fri. July 7, 2023 – finally headed home, for a bit

Hot and humid again. Brief respite after the storm yesterday, but back to normal summer now. 90s, for temps and humidity, but it will start nicer.

Well, I finally finished the major projects and some of the ‘since we have the machines and dumpster here’ projects too. There are some follow on new projects, like stairs from the house down to the yard and lake… since I took out the broken concrete and brick stairs, and some landscaping, like grass seed at a minimum. I did complete a massive amount of work.

So onward. Home for a couple of days, then maybe back with one child. Other child has camp, and wife suggested I could head back up. Hmmm.

Today I’ll be getting some good measurements for supplies to build the stairs. I’ll be looking for cheap and quick alternatives when I get home to my fast internet. Maybe a salvage set, or something industrial will pop up. Stranger things have happened.

Then I’ll be packing up and closing up. Oh, first I’ll fuel and wash the rentals. Do NOT want to get charged, although how realistic is it to expect construction equipment to come back clean? I’m certainly not hand detailing them, but I’ll hit them with the pressure washer and knock off most of the red mud.

It’s been a long couple of weeks and I’ll be glad to be home, if only for a few days.

Been stacking up skills, and improving my position. Been showing the locals I’m not afraid of hard work, and can get things done. Those are good things.

Stack good things.
