Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all !!!
the boss wanted me to build a temporary loading dock at work, for one of the tenants. I had seen a sign at the gravel pit, eco blocks for $20 each and figured that would work. They turned out to be huge outsized blocks, weighing in at ~6200# each.
I picked up 27 of them, 4 at a time. Total weight 167,000 pounds.
You guys are good brothers! Keep up the good work.A few weeks ago my brother and I put skirting and insulation under sister's temporary travel trailer home. Her ( our historical family home ) house was destroyed by fire in May, and she elected to stay on the property to tend the gardens and keep her pets happy while the new home is build, rather than rent and have to come over and water, etc.
Right after the fire, I rented an excavator over there rather than drag the company rig over and back, and put in the power water sewer and gravel pad for the trailer.
I had the material salvaged from the SR520 floating bridge job, plus pipe insulation that was surplus at work.
I put the pipe insulation on the edge of the plywood to protect the finish of the RV and provide a good seal. We put 2" styrofoam insulation behind the ply, and that vinyl skirt came with the trailer and is now snapped over the top of everything, providing another layer.
We built a small room in under the front of the 5th wheel.
Today I am loaded up with materials to build a deck with roof over it to give them a little more living space. It is nice to have a place to take off your shoes, sit and have coffee on the nice days, and also a proper staircase, landing, and handrails.

I wanted a vintage map of our county. Couldn't find one, so I made my own from pages from the 1874 county atlas. 34"x48". Stitched together and georeferenced to the county GIS using photoshop. Complete with landowner names and boundaries. Now to frame it.
Nice work! Curious as to how you are handling the sewage?
There was a convenient septic tank; my job? Find it!
My sister helped my father hand dig the hole in 1960. Let's say the recollections of location were pretty sketchy.
We took Skate Creek road for probably the last time this season. The scenery was grand; the road was an unplowed 3 rut sloppy mess. Fun times meeting someone on a corner, as that center rut was not roomy enough for two!
White Pass was the usual light to no traffic, so much that there were no visible tracks in the fresh and it was not just coming down in buckets yet. It is going to snow 2~4' tonight though.
I have small hope of bringing our 5th wheel home Sunday, the forecast looks good until it punches you in the mouth.
