Happy Sunday

Hey! Ok, so maybe I'm the only one reading this but, I continue to grow my evil plan to take over the world, even though no one is paying any attention. I have been reading up on Rocket Stoves for my A-frame up in NC, as my newly adopted worker Mike is at this very moment digging a trench for the 4" sewage pipe under the footer for my Basement, 80' to the very expensive septic tank I put in last year, he has told me he "Ran into a rock the size of his truck" and had to adjust to go around it, ( I am pretty sure he knows what he is doing, but I still am nervous about having to unclog any thing in the future when the pipe is re-buried! As soon as I can save up enough for 500 more 12" blocks I will have him continue on the basement. I just felt bad when he told me he was running out of food so I had him do what Fred could finish with his D9 in 2 hours. But, Mike will do a tidier job with no cracked footer. Anyway, in my surfing Sundy (it's really raing cats and dogs today) I found the TRUSS-ME truss holding system and lots of ther good stuff, more to come, heres a pic of the progress, (havent seen the trench yet!

I turn 52

Ha! Whodathunkit? I turn 52 this Friday, old fart that I am. I am still doing all the, (well MOST) stuff I always have, but its true, some days you wake up and say, OW! My GODDAM KNEEEE! But, by lunch its fine, next week you wake up and say DAMN! My foot hurts, what did I do?! Then by dinner its fine, this is how it goes, so you just learn to accept the little surprised as a challenge, god, by the time I reach Aunt Mimi's youthful 94 I am really gonna have some suprises when I wake up, of course, I dont think Aunt Mimi has slept since 1978 but its possible, oh Boy! I go to the mountains NEXT week, wow, its here already! Wow! Anyway, I hope to build most of the basement walls. this should be fun! I know I am 52 when I start carrying thos blocks!!!

A few things come to mind

I want a Ditch Witch, a cement mixer, a big wheelbarrow, scaffolding, and more time. Are you listening Santa?
