Harley and I have to finish reroofing a garage on the radar base. I blew it, and dropped a 500lb transformer through the roof.........

The LLC wanted me to take some power poles down that had transformers on them. I got the oil, and they got the copper. I didn't know the transformers were just hung on the crossbars, not bolted to them. I cut the pole down and the transformer fell off the crossbar and through the garage roof..........

I thought Harley was gonna die laughing............lol

Ten minutes later, two state inspectors showed up and almost had a cow. They thought the transformers had PCB's in the oil and the ground was now contaminated....

I had the test results from the oil in my truck. NO PCB's.........

That's good. Otherwise, the EPA people would have been all over you.

Yup! My 3,000 sf storage building! I'll be able to clear out about half of that building by putting the "stuff" on shelving. That means I've got room for more stuff!!

I'd be filling mine with future projects. Something to make the wife happy......NOT!


Gotta run to the cafeteria, and get my flu shot, BRB.
