I am in the office for about half day today. should be nice and quiet to get some drafting wrapped up!
laying in bed right now but about to head that way. some proposals to right, billing to do and may start to do end of year tax stuff this week.
My office is closed this week, but I'll be here everyday for an hour or so to get the mail, answer emails and phone calls, and scrape together an emergency crew should something come up.
Yep, procrastinated since Thursday to catch up reports and submittables that have to be in by the 30th. This is a travel day for the rest of the crews, have an appointment with the oral surgeon tomorrow so I won't be heading back to the job site until then.
yes,but hopefully only till noon, working on a survey that needs to be out the door tomorrow.
Yes. Or at least I'm going to try. Been down with a bad cold for over a week. One of those that drains your "giveadamn" level to a point so low you value life over money.
We'll start out looking for some section corners, then try to recreate a highway/railroad intersection despite the railroad having been abandoned for many years. The catch is that the highway was redesigned to curve this way and that so as to hit the tracks at a better angle. Those plans are far from perfect. In fact, one number is off by 20 feet.
Yep, heading out to Timber Ridge in a few minutes to start a 140 acre boundary survey. I hope to have it done by Friday.
No. Going to sit right here on my couch until my daughter gets out of bed. Then I am sure we will be back outside so she can ride her scooter she got for Christmas.
No. enjoy the Christmas holiday.
Much more important family stuff to do.
It was a late last night gettting home from Christmas dinner.Too much HoHoHoing for sure.
I will play as promised with my son on a new video game that he bought me and then take him to Mandeville to get his 'big' gift as promised.
Then we will start getting ready for the Saints game with Atlanta on MNF.
Geaux Saints!!!
New tenant coming on the 1st, my survey crew is laying down hardwood floors in one of my buildings today, crew chief switch hits as a remodeler/carpenter as this a was his past life and what he does to fill in time cracks, it works.
Anybody else working...
> today?
No, not today. Courthouses and banks are closed, so I kinda operate the same way. I'm not too busy right now anyway, so I can wait a day or so.
I found out a "Band of Brothers" marathon started at 9am on Spike TV... so I'm kinda bolted to the comfy chair anyway...
Have a good one, Joe!
Carl
Yes... worked yesterday too!

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.”

I was fortunate enough to copy this before it got erased--words to live by.
Thanks Peter.
Happy holidays,
Radar
No way... It's Boxing day and only the second day of Christmas ... We are just getting started.
PS:
Thanks for that Radar
I am available for my clients if they call.
Told my crew that there is work for them to do to set up several new projects if they want to work. Today they must of called a rainout cause they were expected but did not show.
This week I will write two sets of notes to finish one project. Travel to the tax office to pay that.
The rest of the time I will spend with family.
:good:
Working at home on two projects today.
First is an amendment to a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) I wrote. The owner wants the architect's site plan, the landscape architect's plan and my drainage plan to match plus the changes that required the amendment in the first place. The first thing I see on the landscape architect's plan is that she reduced the size of the septic system by a third of the size of the septic system that the Health Dept. issued a permit for and does not have the required distance between the leaching pools and the retaining wall around the system. Basicly she did not have the room for the planting beds and steps she wanted so she made the septic system smaller to get the room. To make things more interesting the permitted system has already been installed. In an email to the owner I told him my advice is to have his surveyor locate the septic system and house under construction so a retaining wall can designed that works for everyone.
Second project is a redesign of the filed subdivision we did three years ago. The developer wanted to go from a though road to a cul-de-sac. To help the Town accept the change the developer will donate two lots next to an open space to the town. This was a Limited Impact Development (LID) subdivision already but two lots to open space and about 800 feet less road will make it more so.
Just got in!
Finished up a large ranch boundary. Will stay up late tonight processing the info to determine whether or not I need to go back for anything tomorrow.
I think I am good, but had to field calc in a couple of tricky missing corners, so I am going to check those out before a well deserved cocktail.
