Well, my concrete work seems to have taken me to Cullman, Alabama. We’re doing Dock Levelers for a Walmart Distribution center. I look forward to the challenge, as well as the opportunity, but being away from my family will undoubtedly be the worst part of the experience.
We left on Monday the 8th, 2010. I had to wait on some saw blades for my new cut-n-break saw, so we got a late start. We finally got on the road about 4:00 PM. I was taking both Lee and Josh with me, but last Friday, Josh said he wasn’t going to be able to go. Girl problems, I think. At any rate, Lee and I can handle just about anything we have to do on this job.
We drove through snow for most of the trip, and then the big problem became the temperature and ice. We had to stop about 2 1/2 hours from Cullman in New Albany, Mississippi.
Once we got to Cullman on Tuesday, we went to the Distribution center. We wanted to take a look at what we’re up against.
Basically, we have to core drill 48 holes and remove the concrete in 24 spaces. No problem!
Now, I think we’re gonna sleep for the rest of the day. It’s been a hard 2 days so far. Mainly because of the amount of driving we’ve had to do. As I expected, I miss my wife and girls tremendously!
