Going to try to finish a trim-out (if all the stuff is there...) I'm in the "gotta finish one of these jobs so I can get paid" mode. Been spreading myself pretty thin lately... (I did take three days off for Thanksgiving, and only worked three hours on Friday).

May have my new helper wth me, he passed his test with a 93% (I think he said). His old job is still a few days behind due to the weather, so he won't be available just yet, weather permitting.

Plenty of work, and it could easily explode into more...

Then again, the bottom could fall out of the whole thing!

Part of the biz...

Barring any emergencies, I continue roughing in a small but detailed single family guest dwelling.

I have three things planned for Monday.

First is to install some breaker locks and a sign for a main shunt trip on a store I remodeled. This will finish the job. The fire marshall is comming for his final inspection on Monday as well. The store is about a 45 minute drive one way from our shop.

From there I need to finish rewiring an ansul system I started last Wednesday but didn't finish. It is in a nursing home on the other side of town.

The last thing I have going is I need to locate a break in the underground feeder for the weather equipment at the local airport. The service is located on one end of the airport property and the equipment is about 1500 feet away. I didn't have time on Wednesday to really do more than troubleshoot the problem. Will have to go back with a cable tracer to locate and repair the break.

I was off on Friday, had a nice four day weekend.

Is that pesimism or realism???

No thanks, my back is starting to hurt just thinking about it.
