New Job

Well I started on my new job this week. On Monday I had orientation and paperwork and didn't actually start working till Tuesday.

On Tuesday I first went to several places to pick up ordered materials. Then I removed the old clapboard siding from a remodel project we had going, then demolished a deck and replaced some hand rails. I then went to a rental property and fixed a cracked bath tub with some fiberglass repair kit and a LOT of sanding, and finally installed an outside water spigot.

On Wednesday, I started the day off by installing a base cabinet and counter top and fixing a leaking drain pipe. Then I went to a golf course to put in some 40 foot telephone poles for a net system they are putting up to catch golf balls.

Today i went to a Talc grinding plant to remove a dust collector. i thought it would be an easy job but someone failed to mention that it was 40 feet in the air. after a full morning and much finagling we finally got it unhooked and down and on a truck for transport to Ohio, i went and returned all of our equipment that we used to get it down.

As you can see my job is VERY wide spread and encompasses may areas. But that's my area of expertise. I'm really going to enjoy this job and like working with the people i work with.

As for my family, we have some very sad days ahead. Lani's deployment ceremony is tomorrow and she will be leaving for Iraq in about 2 weeks give or take a few days. We will miss her very much and will try to patiently wait for her return.

other than that, life is getting back into order and I'm starting to relax again.

more next time or next week.
