Subject: Re: Dec. Fo 2019 by teebee on 2019/12/5 4:55:45 Hey guys.... been another busy day. Installed the microwave, oven and dishwasher (minus the actual plumbing hook ups, I drilled holes in the cabinet sides to feed the hoses, connected the electrical) Then in the afternoon I thought I'd get a chance to work on those cabinets and just barely got started , when Rosie calls me.... "Will you be able to go down to the lumber yard and get their fork lift to take a refrigerator off the FedEx truck?" "Sure, when is it going to be here?" "It's sitting in the alley now waiting for you...." Well, F@*K. So I jump in the pickup and run down to the lumberyard and tell them I need the fork... "The keys are in it." So I park the pickup and go try and start the fork.....rhuh, rhuh, rhuuuuh, The freaking battery is dead...sh!t. So I go back in and ask them about jumping it, "Sure! But we don't have jumpers." "That's OK, I do." So I get back in the pickup and pull around where the fork is and it takes us about 10 minutes to FIND the battery and another freaking 10 minutes to wrangle the cables around to where we can actually hook them up. Rur, rur, rur....still no start. About that time the owner pulls up and wonders what we are doing (he's been gone for lunch). "well." he says, "we need some starting fluid." so off he goes to find starting fluid, I try again and it almost wants to start, he comes back (without any starting fluid) and says "Did you hod the glow plug button down?" "No, it is 54 degrees, does it need to have that done?" "Well, that' what happens when it gets cold." I hold the glow plug button down for a little bit, and it fires up. I drive across town and, thankfully the FedEx guy is waiting patiently. I get it unloaded, set it down where Rosie wants it by the back door and I head back......well, basically it took a freaking hour to do what should have been a 10 minute job. Back to the shop and I actually get the cabinets ready to go out to the finisher by 5:30 pm I'll take those out tomorrow. Didn't get as warm as they said today, but it was still pretty nice for the first part of December. Time for bed. |
