I made it!

First day working in town. The broken water pipe was an easy fix. It took longer digging the hole than it did fixing it. There is an old tree next to the water line, so digging sucked because of the roots!

I saw the inside of a swamp cooler for the first time today. I was worried they were going to be hard to work on but they are SUPER easy. There's nothing to them at all.
I had to winterize the office unit so that meant sealing up the unit and draining the water.
Then I went to one of the rent houses and plumbed in a gas line for an oven and fixed a closet door.
I was done by 3 today, but I had to get up at 6:30 this morning.

I've had a real hard time sleeping lately. I lay here and my mind runs at the speed of light, thinking about everything I've got going on. I still think I'm going crazy or something. I've even tried Scotch and water before bed. Nothing! Just a freakin headache!
Maybe I didn't drink enough. :)
Tonight, is a Lunesta night!! I can't run on 4 or 5 hours of sleep anymore. I'm exhausted!

I took a few more pics today. Nothing cool to look at...just my day. :)

Tomorrow, I start painting those three houses. I wanted to use my spray rig but they want me to roll!!
Oh well...I'm paid by the hour.
I have an electric heater to fix this weekend so that should be easy money. Sounds like a limit switch or fuse link by the symptoms.

Heading to bed early. See ya tomorrow!

Busted pipe


All done! 

My maintenance shop when I work for the real estate company

I followed a jack rabbit for a half mile down the road this morning. He wouldn't get out of the way!

I guess he ran out of gas so he took the first exit. He thought I couldn't see him. Notice the crouch and his ears are way back. Low profile. He didn't move an inch.

The two observatories I painted yesterday. I should have done a before pic. They were dingy gray.
