1) Working through it.
2) Taking Wed. only off.
3) Taking Mon., Tues., Wed. off.
4) Taking Wed., Thurs., Fri. off


I'll be doing #4, hey you gotta have a little time off sometimes. :laughing


Note to Mods. Go ahead and move this if needed.

My wife and little girl are taking the train to Arizona on Monday, so the 4th, weather permitting, will be a long work day....we are so far behind, I have no choice.

Well, we would work on the 4th, but people would complain about the noise. So we will just take the 4th off.

Hey, I took a day off once.

Joe, and what reason will you come up with for taking 11th, 12th, 13th off?

I had another contractor ask me about what days we were taking off yesterday. I think with the odd ball year people seem to be having some people need a break. Others want to push through and get an extra days work.

The "4th of July" is a day to stop, think and celebrate the founding of America! If you do work, purposely stop your machine for 5 minutes and "THINK" about all that we have, say a prayer of thanks, and go home at the end of the day and turn the job off and have some fun with family and friends in the context of the freedom you have to be able to do that. That little bit is way more than a majority of people in this country will consciously do on the 4th.

Nick now you're going to have me putting my thinking cap on to see what I can come up with for the 11th, 12th, and 13th. Maybe I'll have to take a road trip up state to see what a buddy of mine is doing.

Definitely taking the 4th off. We are hosting a get together, combining the 4th with a late birthday celebration for my daughter. We can see the town fireworks from our backyard.

As far as work the other days, I plan on working if there is anything for us to go on. But I do something work related every day whether in the office or out turning a wrench or getting things prepped for the next day..... I am always working.

Oops, my bad.
As I was typing my earlier post I intended to add the line "If any of you folks want to stop by, please do. We have plenty of ice, over plenty of beer, to wash down plenty food!"

But I type so slow, my mind wanders and I forget what I was...

I will be working. I am unsure if my guys will be. I am far behind. One client does not live at the house and the other is on vacation. I will try to just do hand work.

I am considering taking friday, saturday and sunday off.

jmic

Boy I'm starting to feel guilty of taking the time off next week. Ahh I'm sure I'll get over it.

Not long ago, we discussed days and hours worked...I am getting positively tired of working my weekends....and I hate working holidays, won't ask my guys to do it....but I can get a lot done in just one day. Since my family will not be here, up early, and work until dark. I will catch up with them next weekend.

Joasis time spent with your daughter, not to mention your wife is precious, something that you can never replace with money. I've been there and done what you're doing.............not worth it. Probably not to late to get another train ticket.
