Im working from home today, so i may end up outside with a cooler of beer "working" while the kid plays lol

 

That sounds like a great idea....

 

Where is everyone today?

 

that's what i was wondering. Terry probably restocked and is outside again. lucky.

 

I could be outside drinking beer right now too........Might even have to do that tonight....

 

that's my plan indoors. going to Rockwell Republic i guess. from what i gather it's not my type of scene, but it also wasn't my choice. but they have lots of craft beer and a pulled pork sammich on the menu that has my attention, so i'll be survive.

starting the boat tomorrow. looking like my memorial weekend goal won't happen.

 

Rockwells is awesome. They have great food. That's our sunday go to for bloody marys and sushi.

Kind of a cool bar, but really busy at times it takes a bit to get a drink.

 

hell no to cold today lol. It's my birthday so had a few birthday beers at lunch.

Really regretting my decision to wear shorts today, that wind is wicked.

 

I've been busy during the day learning the ins and outs of the body shop. I will be working with the parts guy for at least another week.
So far I've "mastered" how to wash a customer vehicle before the techs work on it, wash and detail the vehicle after the work has been completed. Paint stripe the parking lot and now I know how to bill parts to RO's and open PO's.
They might not realize it, but I'm also learning how to get good deals on parts for my truck too.
Work on the house has been steady as far as filling and sanding nail holes on all of the door trim and baseboard. Hopefully today I can caulk all of the trim while my brother in-law completes gluing the stainless steel edgeband for the last bit of countertop.

 

We ran into an issue with the floor drain in the garage. Back in December the plumbing inspector told me I had to tie it into the septic. My cousin contacted him and was told the same thing. Well, the health department came out to inspect the septic last Friday and said "No way". Monday morning the plumbing inspector called and claimed I must have changed it after he inspected it because he would have never approved it the way it was. I argued with him, but realized that he wouldn't admit it and just asked him what I needed to do to get it right. He told me and said that once it's done, to give him a call and he'd stop by and check it as a "freebie".
I should have it fixed tomorrow after I remove the freshly placed topsoil, dig up all the plumbing and disconnect the drain and tie in the garage bathroom plumbing to the septic tank.
The biggest issue is that I then need to have the concrete guy place all of the forms for the garage floor before I can put down the vapor barrier, 2" foam insulation and secure the 5/8" Pex to the foam and reinforcement mesh. Once it's done, I have to have the insulation and Pex inspected. Then he'll pour the concrete floor and install the concrete forms for the garage apron and sidewalk. Then I will do the same process all over again.

 

it'll be worth it all in the end Torr

 

Anybody thirsty in GR?

 

I'm thirsty, unfortunately the 4 year olds bday party is getting in the way of drinkin with you.

 

So we got this far last night, still need to get the fabric for shade.
