Last Covid post (I probably have too many off-topic posts…
I think I’m more afraid/weary about LONG-HAUL Covid than Covid itself. I’m vac’d and there’s a lot that’s known now about treatment and getting better.
Long-haul Covid can be devastating. For some, it can be so debilitating, they can no longer work and can barely get out of bed to use the bathroom. That would s*ck because there’s still so much that’s not known - how, why, how to treat it, why some get it and some don’t, etc.
FR30 excitement in the air. Though I’m a little disappointed the rep from PSA seemed like he was winging it when describing the FR30s and Octave Records.
Are you photo documenting the remodeling? I really like to see what other people are doing. Our journey here at our house, it was built in 1902, seems to be never ending. We’ve been restoring it to be very modern. We personally don’t want to live in a period house.
Ours, built in 1905, went modern last year with a bit of Axel Vervoordt thrown in by the wife. To be honest it went quickly and according to plan, at least the building part of the plan that I managed. My wife did all the interior design and didn’t really let on what she was up to, my only contribution was a drinks cabinet. The only unplanned thing was digging up the old floors so we could lay porcelain tiles that are 1m square and 6mm thick. The amount of prep work to lay tiles that size is horrendous.
Our house is brick/timber and now a lot of steel. We extended, rebuilt 2000 sqft and had to put in 10 foot foundations. Builders arrived 8 May and left on 1 September. Electrics, plumbing and decorating Sept/Oct and kitchen and other cabinets, windows and doors Nov/Dec. Builders do 45 hours per week. Does that compare to USA?
I called my builders AC/DC. Two brothers, one cool as a cucumber, the other had just had a sex change and was on hormone therapy so up and down like … AC.
The audio system survived the dust, if I’d ordered some FR30 I’d rather have them delivered afterwards.
I think that’s dependent on a few things, but it’s close. For interior work I think that’s a decent number. The people that did our exterior (siding, windows, trim) worked much longer days. There were plenty of 60 hour days (correction “weeks”, thanks @Palouse!!) for them. Being in the Pacific NW I think their work year is compressed due to long stretches of rain in the winter. So to make up, they do as much as possible in the other three seasons.
