Anti those logging pics bring back great memories. Grandfather was head sawier in several southern Oregon mills in the day Dad logged for awhile after his law enforcement career. He brought logs into the large log mill in Truckee , Calif before it closed. Grandfather was killed on Mt Hood , OR in a logging accident in the 70's

My boss posted a picture on Fb of some nameless goober working on a transformer on a 4000 amp service over this last weekend... Put in 16 hours finishing it up Sunday. I'm still limping around trying to recover. I'd post it here but it won't let me swipe the photo. Mike Edit: Here it is... Wonderful shot of the back of my head. Lol https://m.facebook.com/tulsaelectri...if¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic

And some work long days behind a desk. Private and public Tax prep guys, accounting firm auditors, and countless other fields put in very long hours especially this time of year. Always working to get it right.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

What always amazed me was the guys on assembly lines splitting hogs in half all day log with those big, heavy cleavers. They could probably tie you in a knot with their fingers..... That or the guy with the sledgehammer above the cattle line.

My machines on a deck after a rain blew in on the unfinished floor. I poured a lot of concrete back in my younger days. Ten and twelve thousand square foot pours. Two hundred yards at a crack. Backbreaking work but I was in the best shape of my life. We had a job super tell us to pour when the boss didn't want to. There were clouds on the horizon. We poured. The skies opened up and leaked through the roof system. We were out there throwing Portland cement on the floor trying to work up some sort of finish. What a mess.

Good parenting. The most important and under-rated job out there IMO. A good spouse and parent is a blessing that has no price, and worth more than all the riches the world has to offer. God bless America!

I've been working on this house off and on for the last seven years. It is a vacation island home. The owner has me go there every year between mid-February and May. After May he and his family start using it. It is out of state and a two-hour drive so I stay there during the week while working. From the top down: I've put a new roof on it. I've installed the attic gable windows. I rebuilt the upper deck and installed a new railing. I converted four bedroom windows into doors so there would be access to the upper deck from all bedrooms. I blew insulation into the balloon-framed studs then resided the entire house. I've remodeled the kitchen. I've put a new hardwood floor in the dining room and done many more smaller jobs over the years. The Antique Boat Club used this house as a backdrop for their 2015 calendar cover.
Eh...wot?

Thanks and you are correct, remodeling is more involved than new construction. Especially old places like the lake house. It was built in the 1890's and was used as a yacht club for decades. It was only accessible by boat until a long footbridge was built from the mainland about fifty years ago. Nowhere on that house is there anything that is plumb, square or level. The kitchen remodel presented challenges but we got it done.

Pretty sure this is Amarican made...1970 mostly...part of my fathers collection I’ve been gathering up.. Hopefully I’ll get it finished before I get to old..One part a year I try to finish...I’ve skipped a few years..
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

It is unbelievable when I see these blood suckers out there that can work but would rather have the government take care of them. I get mad every time I pay more taxes like this year owing the government $2,700.00 more for income tax.

I remember saying the pledge every day at the start of school. They don't do that any more do they? I taught school for sixteen years and every class said the pledge every single school. Also had daily prayer at the flagpole, regardless of weather.

I remember saying the pledge every day at the start of school. They don't do that any more do they? I taught school for sixteen years and every class said the pledge every single school. Also had daily prayer at the flagpole, regardless of weather. Good ole days .............
