Had they finished, you might have been able to work there.
The weather isn't the same as Don's place though. The plant site is about 50 miles NE by air and is 3000 feet lower. They get dust storms up there that Don doesn't have to worry about.

Morning Allen. Looks like another sunny week here. My buddy Mikey is not happy down in Arlington. He hasn't seen the sun and has had freezing fog for almost 2 weeks now. We are in clear skies here, and all around this mesa, all I can see is fog........

I get a similar effect where I live. I'm down on the floor of a little river valley off of the Willamette Valley. There's enough zig-zag in the valley to keep the fog from working back here. When I go to work I go up over a 900' pass and down into the valley. I often hit the top and then look down at a blanket of fog. I'm sure I'm going to see the same thing in a few minutes.
The other cool effect I get here is that I'm in the rain shadow of the tall mountains right West of me. I often see rain storms dissipate on the way down the hill. It's rain forest only 2 miles away, with over 200 inches of rain per year.
I'd sure love to be able to work close to home and not in the soup of the valley.

It's a little weird looking out and seeing nothing but fog below me, and bright sunshine here. But I'll take it!
It is nice being able to walk to my shop if I want too, and not having to drive in that crap!

I don't hate ALL engineers, just the stupid ones, and the ones that take credit for work I've done......

Tell the LLC to tell the insurance company that right now I have someone on sight willing to do the work in return for a building on site. If you delay we will hire a professional contractor and it will cost you double or triple the price.

We've got two different contractors coming in this week to bid on the project. This will establish a "cost" for the work involved for the ins co to work with. When they finally settle, the LLC will get a check for the lessor of the two quotes. With Harley and I doing the work for money off the building we want, the LLC may even come out ahead, and make a few bucks on the deal....A win win for us both!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang.
Another cool foggy day here.
I've got some honey-do's to get wrapped up before I head back to work.
Stupid washing machines! I'm going to put the damn thing back into the laundry room and see if I figured out what caused the leak or not.
