Evening slackers. As expected, this project is a complete *s-wordttt show. It’s a “cart before the horse” situation. We helped put a roof on a year ago thinking it was just staying a shed. They decided to frame it in and make an office due to a pissin contest between two divisions that shared an old house. Couldn’t tear it down because it’s “historic” and built by the CCC. The issue I have is I don’t think the CCC used gang nails in the 1930’s to build homemade trusses or use 1 1/2”x3 1/2” S4S lumber. I may be wrong, but it’s had a few remodels over the years! Rafter tails, Dutch lap, studs, EVERYTHING has issues! Another crew demoed most of it and replaced/added new studs, framed the front in, and sheathed it. Somehow we got roped into it to finish it and it’s going to be a MF’r. Should have went to the historical stone foundation and started over with new trusses!

Rant over, have a good night. Back to the 💩 show tomorrow!

Good evening. Hope everyone had a blessed day. Lately the highlight of my evenings are eating dinner, relaxing a while and going to bed.

Man. I'm so sorry. I know exactly what you're going through. I've done it. It sucks. Everyone says it'll get better and it eventually does. But it sure seems like forever before it does. I still have you on my prayer list.

Well I watch a lot of Billy Graham and Adrian Rogers too.
I went to see a counselor. That was just a waste of time. I didn’t go back. I wish there was something I could do for you but honestly all I can do is pray for God to give you the strength for you to help yourself.

I’ll try to get some tomorrow. I was too pissed today. The guy we were there to help, kept disappearing 😡. I texted my supervisor and told him either he fixed the issue, or I was packing my *s-word and going back to our work base, lol. We have it figured out now, so tomorrow we should be able to roll right along.

Morning gentlemen. I asked @Mastermind about this before I shared it here. It may need to be its own thread, but I can make another if needed.

Our local high school football team has pretty much been screwed over for years by the school and county school board. Add to that the last coach took quite a bit of cash from the program and was a sorry ass individual, the team is struggling! We have a new coach that’s trying to do the right thing and turn it around. The team is having a fundraiser for new equipment, camp, buses, pregame meals, and other needs. We are currently in the red by about $3100 after getting helmets reconditioned! If any of you all want to donate in his behalf, here is the link. This young man is one of the hardest working teenagers I know. He isn’t your typical 15 year old. Aiden McCubbins is his name. Thanks!

Good morning guys,
Slept close to perfect last night, been to the dentist, one relatively large hole done.
Now I'm going to follow packages, and it's time to measure what there is room for on the tractor, 4 module racks have to go in, but I hope I can get 5 module racks in.
I have both to choose from.

Since I'm a picky bastard it takes time, not to mention all the times I find a slightly better way lol
I bought a lot of terminals, and I'm about to run out :2guns:
