Heading out to Garden City over to the FAA facility, looking to insulate some 30” generate exhaust pipes. This should be a nice walk through. ?
Playing around with VDOT, the Town Public Works gang, Town Manager & a Paving Company. Had contracted the Pavers to fill & asphalt in the trench we cut across the street at the Brit's building to connect to the Town water.
Idiots who installed the two valves placed them below street level . I didn't supervise them nor hire them.
:rolleyes:
They did put the type in that had built in risers in them. Meaning they could be raised if necessary to meet the correct level. They are 3 inches below where they should be. The fill that went into the trench 5 months ago is now so compacted they are unable to be raised. They used a pick ax to clear the fill away from them - tied straps to the bucket of a bobcat & tried to raise them that way. The straps snapped!!!!
So now the road is closed. This of course drew some attention & VDOT showed up. Along with the aforementioned other players.
Well - back to the dig site.
good times
What is it with you and digging stuff up?

I'm goin na work. Gotta catch da slack. :unsure:
looked out by back door because I smelled smoke - a lot of smoke - then saw flames shooting up higher then the trees - then heard & saw 4 fire departments racing down my block...................
Hose fire on the block behind me!
When I say block - our blocks here are easily more than a football field in length. So I was easily over 300 yards away with my line of sight blocked by trees Began to walk over there & got a glimpse of the roof of the house through the treetops - the flames that I saw where shooting out of the roof of the house.
NIce old 1800's Victorian.
What I got from one of the 1st Responders:
Older guy, had a cold, was blowing his nose & dropping the tissues into a wastebasket.
There was a candle burning by the wastebasket.
Took his dog for a walk.
Came back in - the candle had melted all the way down & somehow ended up in the wastebasket.
When he came in the basket was on fire, the couch & curtains.
By the time the fire departments arrived the entire second floor & attic were engulfed.
Sad.
Very sad, glad to here nobody got hurt.
