Oh yeah it was a pain, it wasnt even a job where just one guy could go under the deck too, all of us were under there at one point. luckily he had random access doors around it so we didnt have to crawl around the entire thing

I had a nice day today to, 12 straight hours of demolition on a massive chimney, and we are still 3-4 feet away from where we need to be. Chimney is 8 feet wide, about two feet deep, two 12x12 flues in it, and in between each flue, is a fully boxed block wall, there is so much material in this thing. Every 4 feet we were taking the dump truck to unload!

Jake got a flat on his mower this afternoon. I volunteered to trim at the last lawn since I was wearing pants and with one mower I could trim way faster than he could mow.

He then proceeded to take my mower and hit a rock quite hard then hit a cobblestone even harder. Did I mention my blades were brand new this morning? Didn't even hit them with the same blade. Got one on each side. At least he evened it out I guess.

Might be? Will be..

We were planning on a rain day today but I just got a call from the bossman saying we're starting at 10.

Woo... love mowing wet, overfertilized lawns.

I didn't want to run errands that I've been putting off for a few weeks anyways.
