Default Pool Cage Reconditioning
All painting and hardware has been completed. 1,100+ stainless self tappers, tons of new metal. Now I need to replace the rest of the missing vertical screens, paint the deck, and pay a company to replace all roof panels. 3+ months, 300+ hours, $4,000+ so far, but it absolutely looks like the $25,000 upgrade that it would have been. Yes I could have paid someone to do this, but I will always do what I can, as long as I can.

Photos when it's done.

Today was a nice milestone. I had 233 billable hours in January, will have over 200 in February, and I'm taking the last week off for my first full week off since I joined the company. Wife and I doing 4 nights in Clearwater Beach on the Gulf. Having those working hours and still logging 300+ on a pool cage has been exhausting.

Yes, I'm having a few tall Heinekens tonight.

After an exhausting day spent vacuuming the house, watching the tube and throwing together a pasta dinner I am sipping on 15 year old Dalwhinnie and cruising the net.
Our place of business is open 10 hours a day but there has been a pandemic related overtime moratorium for nearly a year now. This weekend I am celebrating my return to a 9 hour workday!
