    Default FINALLY!!!!

    We have been in the process all summer of waiting.....waiting for a shop for our trucks...it was supposed to be completed August 1. Well...guess what?

    There is PROGRESS!!! Here's what I came home to today, after 2 months of looking at the materials lying in our yard....

    Yeah, you got that right! It's so damned HARD to get anything done here, everybody is just so damned BUSY! It takes 2 YEARS to get a house built!

    It's supposed to be completed in 18 DAYS...I'll believe it when I see it. Then Claude & his cousin still have to wire it...man I KNOW I married that man for a reason! :shock: :shock: He's literally a JACK OF ALL TRADES!!!

    When does "winter" usually hit, there? If it doesn't get bad until October or so...it looks like you will be sitting pretty. Once they start, they should hit it hard. Especially if htey are so busy, they are not going to want to waste any time. It will be nice!

    Mostly we get lucky & the real cold weather (-30's) doesn't come till late December, but we usually get a pretty decent fall. Damn we've had frost already...really sucks, cause my flowers were looking so nice!

    Ok, update time....

    The builder tells us that the trusses are going up Monday, the door headers are in the walls are ready....and guess what? It's time for my favorite mechanic to get to work....STILL no shop to work in!



    So here he is....

    Servicing my truck...

    Oh Oh gotta go to town for more oil!





    Good thing we live in the country...his tools are piled up beside the house...



    Isn't it fun to lay on a piece of cardboard in the gravel?



    What a cluster...can't find anything, by the time this is all done, he's going to have TWO of everything!

    Some is here....piled up IN the trailer out on the damned ROAD...they need the room to work in the yard...had to move it!









    I need more RAGS! Go get me some more rags!



    It will be so nice NOT to have all these PILES of STUFF laying all over the place...

    Well consider me jealous. I really wish I had a shop and someone to service my truck besides me

    It really does not help that I just spent a couple of hours changing an airbag in Tropical Storm Hanna, OUTSIDE!

    You know it doesn't do any good to wash it until he's done working on it. :wink:

    Leave it to you to say THAT Rev! Believe it or not it WAS washed 2 days ago! Fall has arrived up here & it's damned near WINTER in the far north! I hit a shhhh... snow storm on my way home!

    Besides...one day I'd like to see if you can keep up to me & still have time to polish your truck the way you do....somehow I doubt it!

    EXACTLY, I spent 3 hours & 150$ washing & polishing only to get 50 miles out & hit rain then 150 mile (good old Fox Creek) & hit snow...so much for a clean truck! At least the bugs are pretty much done for the year!

    I notice when you live around a big city alot of the contractors are union so they sit on the job and waste time cause they are getting paid to do it. But for the ones out in the woods they get it done and get it done RIGHT! :wink: Just my opinion!
