Not So Pro 3

[Lightning Performance]

I should hope so.
One of the best cars I ever bought was an 80 Toyota Celica that had been sitting under a pine tree for a couple years. $50 for the car, a used junkyard battery, a couple used tires and I thrashed the hell out of it for almost a year driving back and forth to tech school.
It rode real nice at 40-50mph through picked corn fields too.

Hold my beer... field run... and you just drive off the road.

I’ve bought cars for less than this cost.

Just a kidney?

Less than a kidney, I got enough change back for a days time on a skid steer to regrade some of the yard.

New boss sent us home early because the roads are flooded. Off to a good start

 

[Egg Shooter]

Bad when this happens so often that we have a volunteer group of people with boats, (cajun navy), that reports to the coast guard and sheriff’s etc. to rescue people.

 

[Egg Shooter]

We had three delays in the start of this job.

1. Frost leaving the ground.
2. Underground service locates (took 4 weeks for the power company to show up for "call before you dig'
3. Lumber...

I wish $5000 was all. We are roughly $50 linear ft for our job including gates and such.

We have been seriously considering selling our house and 18 acres with it. We have 12 more acres across the road.....and could just build a smaller house there, and pocket the profit.

my old neighbor who is a general contractor told me today the local lumber yard has 4x8x1/2” osb at 77 dollars a sheet. He found some for mid 30s a sheet so asked to use my trailer to get a couple bunks for a job he has to do. Not sure how much worse things will get but I’m glad I am not trying to build a house right now.

I did lol I moved 45 min north.

I had a 78 Celica GT.
Turd brown.
Cousin had it. Stored it for years while she was away in the Army.
Smelled like mouse piss.
Also fun on power line right of ways.

Well it isn't a good sign when the contractor only gets as far as removing the old fence and his Dingo dropped the starter. So much for digging holes and getting posts set today I guess.

@Woodpecker Any tips I should pass on?

He should buy a new starter

Damn slackers
