What did you do at work today?

Spent today on a sculpted copper hood. The guy that taught me went to prison last month so this is the first one I've done by myself.

Then I went to caulk it and all 6 of my tubes were dried out. Its supposed to rain this weekend so Im working tommorow so it doesn't leak.View attachment 157990

I hate it when my mentors become inmates too.
 
Once again working with drilling crew.
The general plan is to drill Mondays and Wednesdays, insert rebar cages and pour concrete on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The drilling crew does not work Fridays, or at least not on this jobsite, except in cases where they shut down public access to get drilling done on a weekend.

This is super easy, I back into position under the clamshell, they fill me up, and I go across to the opposite side of the jobsite and dump out. Only problem is the mess that this mud leaves on the truck, and occasional broken sideboard due to the swinging clamshell. From 2006 to 2010, I drove flatbed truck for the company that hauls all of the equipment for this drilling company. So its been 10 years since, but I seem to recall that the clamshell is between 35-40 thousand pounds, so when that hits the sideboards loaded, they break easily. The liner "can" if I recall, is about 27-30 thousand pounds, 3 meters in diameter or close to 9-1/2 feet. Until writing this post, I never really thought about getting photos of the flatbed trucking company that I used to work for, as they make their deliveries here.
While that flatbed work was interesting, I prefer the dumptruck. Just something about driving past a location years later, and saying "I helped build that".

I got my work from home exteded to 1/31/21. Sup?

Lucky mfer. We need someone to test positive to get any more of that sweet "teleworking" time. Damn near everyone else in my unit had their tests (not covid, actual testing of equipment) pushed to the right, but not me. Hopefully that's good for promotion. . .
