Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[baymule]

At house in Groveton. My friend Steve came this morning and we got one of the 40’ shipping containers blocked up. Neither one of us knew what we were doing, but that didn’t stop us. We have 4”X16”X16” concrete pads with 8”X8”X16” concrete blocks at each corner and 3 down each side. Total of 10 concrete pads and blocks for one shipping container.

Son wanted it 2 blocks high. We tried, but it shifted and fell off the blocks. Uhhh….. nope. Not raising that thing 2 blocks high. Too dangerous for a couple of ignorant morons with absolutely no experience!

So now with a whole day’s worth of experience, we know what we are doing and will use our expertise to block up the other behemoth tomorrow.

I’m tired. Back is sore.

That's great! Hopefully tomorrow will be easier!

likely the same crud that is going around everywhere else. glad you're both on the mend.

So true, it is the cold season, daughter in Oregon had it, son's whole family, and it looks like everyone on the KIRO7 evening news does they all are talking in a base voice very scratchy,

I'm trying to picture this in my mind. So ya'll use a fulcrum? It usually helps to have a pig pickin', invite everyone you know and say hey can ya'll help me lift up this and put blocks under it.

We used house leveling jacks and bottle jacks. Don’t ask any technical questions beyond that, because I don’t know. I’m seriously incompetent and ignorant in this skill or lack thereof. I’ve never let that stop me before and I won’t now. It’s a wonder we didn’t lose a finger or hurt ourselves. God takes care of crazy people and fools. One more to go!

Woke up wide awake at 3 AM. Couldn’t go back to sleep. Sucks. Breakfast is coffee, M&M’s and a slim Jim sausage stick.
