Task :

– Pauly D and I set out to retrieve our hardware (turnbuckles, fasteners, ect.)

Hope:

– To retrieve “all” of our  hardware. Our several shipments will be there, on time, and ready for us to retrieve.

Outcome:

– We return to the site with “some” of our hardware.

Lesson Learned:

– Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, the person helping you is slightly less enthusiastic about the urgency of your requests. The thing in the catalog is not always the thing that you had in mind or the thing that was described after hearing your idea of the thing. You don’t always get what you want…

But Paul and I score some pretty cool turnbuckles.

Task:

-Pair up and prepare the wood for the shading structure……wood did not show up.

Lesson Learned:

-Your project doesn’t always succeed the priority of other projects.  Although discouraging, it shouldn’t be demotivating.

Task:

– Finish Wrapping the LVL’s with cedar.  Chris and I set out to finish wrapping the existing columns with cedar 1x’s.  He’s been a great help in the success of a lot of these projects.  He keeps things at a high pace and is really interested in what’s going on.  With his help we were able to finish the deal in good time…
