Well now I can honestly understand how somebody could get that much money into a paint job like that! I love the theme, and although I'm not a fan of murals, this one definitely gets my full applause!

Some how the snow went around us. We got about 3-4", the wind on the other hand is brutal. Its holding 25-30 and gusting in the 40's. Should be about 15-18* tonight. The winds are just making it suck.

Heck I'd like to get outside to work on my car. I have been working first shift since Christmas. Our shop moved into our new building. Its been a rough road. We have been stuck with 80% in the old building and the rest in the new one. Management finally pulled the trigger on the final push. So now we are ***** deep in plumbing and electrical. We have literally started with a blank page. Pulling 6 gauge wire is no joke. I've been so tired when I get home I don't feel like turning another wrench for the rest of the day. Now I have to work the weekend to ensure we are running production on Monday.

I don't miss pulling wire! Probably one of the toughest part of electrical work, and the bigger the wire, the harder the pull. Just lifting four 3/0's to feed into a raceway wears you out quickly, even with a tugger to pull with.

At least someone feels sorry for me. No one here at home has any idea what I do at work. So I do get any sympathy from the woman when I say I'm beat. I didn't have anything thicker than 4g. But still after making all my bent by hand, I had to pull with a fish tape. I worked for the same shop 5 yrs ago when we moved into that building. We were using the fork lift to pull and were breaking 3/8" chain.
