Trying to get as much done as possible before the rain starts later this week. Will be starting on the posts today and finishing Tuesday afternoon. Involves drilling with an auger, cementing, levelling, and mounting the rails. Wednesday is for the pickets, as many as possible (about 600). Need to stain/seal the pressure treated wood then mount them using screws (not nails). 9a to 5-ish pm.

If you'd like to run wires, it involves feeding them down plastic pipes from the attic to the crawlspace, then up into the wiring closet. Easy but in sometimes cramped conditions. Need at least two people at a time, three is best. 9a to 9-ish pm.

Let me know if you'd like to help. Auger and cementing is $8/hr, painting is $6/hr, and running wires is $5/hr.

 

WTF. It's raining outside now, can't exactly mix concrete in the rain and expect it to cure. Will try for the same bat-time, same bat-channel next week.

 

LOL i've read but not posted, but it does suck that the rain screwed up your plans

here's an e-beer, on me

 

Rain screws up all plans

 

... yeah for the last 3 weeks straight.

 

Creating an access hatch for a wiring closet, installing a few electrical outlets, running coax and cat5e, and trying to mount a Cisco 2924xl managed switch flush in a wall. No shortage of stuff to do around here. Oh, and working on my homework somewhere inbetween...
