Wife and daughter are going to the beach next week and I told them if I wasn't busy I would come down. Things looked good until yesterday when I got the call asking me to do 3 townhouse kitchen installs starting Tuesday .

I agreed to do them and may even work on Wednsday since no one else will be on the job . I like it when no one is around to bother me .

Been pretty busy but I just don't want to turn down the work as things have been so up and down since the real estate market crash .

I usually don't give up family time for work but I'm doing it this time . Wife isn't thrilled but understands . Anyone else giving up the holiday or will I be the only one out there ?

You'll be the only one out there.

I nearly was, but your post reminded my it was a holiday week. I think I'll schedule around it now.

So yep, only you.

Put it up to a vote with the crew, they voted to work Wednesday on our office and take Friday off. Probably have some BBQ Wednesday evening though.

I'd probably do the same thing if the money was really good. Tight times require you do make sacrifices, hopefully only short term though. You always have the evenings to hang with the family.

I'll take off the 4th but otherwise I have to stay busy.

I'll be hanging around the house with a water hose and broom in case any idiots start shooting off fireworks. As dry as we are I can't believe the county hasn't put a ban on them again this year.

I'll be with ya, buddy...my wife gets used to it...I don't do it all the time, but like you said, sometimes you gotta take work when you can get it!

No, they haven't been banned. There's even a stand right in front of the fire hall. :furious:

I'm working Straight through from today.

I can't believe you let the board know your wife was going solo

 

[Brutus]

Heading up to my buddies cottage for some weekend fun.

Got a text today from him... bring your tool belt. We have to do some shingling....

 

[summithomeinc]

Haven't had a day off in 3 weeks. Taking off the 4th -8th. Waiting to see if I got the job on an interior repaint. If I did we will be working non-stop. Ya gotta make hay when there is hay to be made.

 

[mnjconstruction]

Im taking the 4th off only, daughter gone for camp, so me and wife gonna head her to bar harber and hang out.

 

[Gary H]

Work is so slow here, every day is a holiday.:laughing:

It's Wednesday.

Just like every tomorrow. It's a workday.

Maybe, just maybe I might stay home and keep the wife company.

I have to work the long weekend...make up for all my time spent pissing around this week. :laughing:

 

[GregS]

Friday at 530pm, call from high end builder, "ya, can you supply and install 3 TVs for president of a large software company by Tuesday?"

Wish I could, but I cannot buy anything until Tuesday when the suppliers open up again. So I'll probably go and take a look at the house today.

 

[fast fred]

yeah, I'm working, hoping for wed off, maybe tue if I'm lucky, but doubtfull, working sat and sun all day.

got an HOA problem I'm trying to be nice with, long story, but my foot in their you know what is what I want to do, I already apologized to the homeowner that I will eventually do or say something I shouldn't and that someone will call the police.

So we will be doing demo on sunday in a condo complex, all day, sawzalls hammers, you name it, everyone is in town for the holiday week and I'll give them something to complain about. Can't wait.

 

[Jaws]

Job security LOL

Actually 2 of them are manned by volunteer firefighters. I wish they would ban those things , Goto a show if you want fireworks.

Consequently 1 of the firefighters is a loud mouth and the other is a wuss. So when somebody start a fire tonight or wednesday night when I'm sleeping the loud mouth will be telling us how we should be doing our jobs and the wuss will be hiding under the bed. :laughing:
