The downside of loving dogs is knowing that we will continue to outlive them. Sympathies on the loss of your friend: been there and will be again.

Immediately the first thing I noticed about the Washington Monument is that about a third of the way up the blocks look different. Construction began in 1848 and was set unfinished from 1854 - 1877. It definitely has a storied past...

Who wants to be an excavator? Just got done helping one of my techs locate the gas on this sewer project in downtown Grand Rapids. I’ve drawn the gas lines (yellow) and a sewer (green). In the background those sewer pipes are 96” diameter and they are going parallel with the road. The caution tape in the background is a big gas vault. Did I mention one of the gas mains is a 6” 145#? Did I mention the sewer is going 24’ down? So all of these facilities will need major supporting and the trenches will need a ton of shoring because there will be a ton of hand digging to get under all this mess. I’ll be checking in on this through the spring and summer to see how they do this!

24' deep, hand digging? That dirt looks too loose for me to go down there unless it's sheet piled. ?

 

Would love to hear about the progress on this one.

I’m not sure how they’re going to dig under those utilities with power equipment. Here in Michigan if you’re deeper that 4’ and people are in the hole you need shoring to support the sides, so there will be that.

Pretty much the norm everywhere. Take some pics of the shoring if you happen to be by the site while they're working. My interest is piqued.

I figured it was probably an OSHA standard. I’m interested in how this is going to work as well. We did a precon walk through last week and the site foreman for the excavation company wasn’t thrilled about this job. He said, “I’m retiring at the end of the year, but it might be sooner!” He also said the August deadline isn’t going to happen. ?

Here is a $2000 piece of plastic. One of my techs missed a gas service on a project they were locating. The contractor was installing fiber optic cable and kinked the service enough this section needed to be replaced. Thankfully it didn’t cut the service so no danger to the public. It never fails, damages always happen Friday afternoon.

Glad I kept reading....I thought it was a prosthetic.  

Looks as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

I figured since we’re paying the bill for this repair, I would at least take it with me. ?

You never know when you need a prosthetic with peyronie's disease.

Blown out over the weekend. 

 

 

Though the fishing was a bust, the RV'ing was still fun, still enjoyed the paddling,

and got our seafood (and fishbowl Rita) fix

[Bluebasser86]

I really don't enjoy fishing strip pits, but the scenery is pretty great sometimes, (have to click on the pic so it doesn't look like it was taken with a potato ?)
