Wow two very late nights. All to get ready for the pour today. Lots of holes to drill for water, electricity, all the services we will need because we don't want to try and drill them all later, especially through concrete.
It was better because we came in for dinner at 5:30 and went out again and worked till after nine, not like the night before when we worked until 8:30 before we came in to eat and were we grumpy.
Of course Brian had been a swearing, throwing grump all day the day before. No one ever knew what he wanted and he would swear even if things were going good. I think it was because we had put up the north wall without putting in a buck? for the door. Even when I have been complaining about the lack of planning going on. So that required taking the wall down and removing a bunch of steel so the door opening could get cut in. Hours of work that could have been spent doing stuff that we had to do the next day.
Yesterday was much better we were more organized having some people cutting steel(me) taping walls(me) cutting holes(them)doing string lines(us)putting a lot steel in the walls(them)re-inforcing the walls(them) and lots of other jobs that take up the day.
We lose Evan again for a few days but Graham is here so that will help. He is quite strong for such a skinny guy but I think he is getting more muscular with all this work. Evan has had more muscle anyway ever since he worked as a baggage handler at Pearson Airport.
Anyway on the 3rd truck of concrete and I hope the last but we may need four. At one point there were ten men outside I'm not sure why but anywhere you find trucks you'll find a group of guys. I'm pretty sure at least a few of the older guys will show up to see how it is going. They show up every once in a while to check, I'm thinking they then go for coffee and fill in the other men because we then get a lot of slow moving vehicles on the street looking at the build. Part of being n a small town that I love.
