This week, thus far.

I've been so tired lately, and I apologize for the lack of updates to SUYM. We've got a lot of good stuff in the making, but its just not ready to be released. Patience, everybody.

Recently I've been extremely busy at work. Usually Jaker and I hammer out a sewage line installation in a 1-2 day period. We're pretty good at it and we usually get the job done quickly. The job we're working on now is a real back-breaker though...

I took this job way back in April - when Jaker was still working for PennDOT. It was only 50 some feet long and the hardest part was the fact that it all had to be dug by hand. This job is in some real closed quarters with severals bends and obstacles in the way. While none of this is a real problem, our luck is slowly running dry.

We've got the ditch completely dug - all 50 some feet of it - by HAND. It's about 3 feet deep at its shallowest point, and 6 feet deep at its greatest depth. I got stuck digging the 6 foot part by myself (which is only a slight bother since Jaker does SOOOOO much for me) so I didn't complain. It keeps me fit too - GOOD exercise ditch digging is! The only real problem is that we found out that one pipe is broken underneath the house and leaking badly. We found this out AFTER we hooked up all the pipes... Ugh.

This means that I have to rip the pipe out from under the house, tunnel under the house to find a good piece of pipe, attach the correct coupler and reattach it to the sewer pipe - all within about a 3 square foot space. We're setting the finish date for TOMORROW.

We're going to have to really hustle to get it done. I know we can do it though. For the rest of the week, I'm going to be pretty beat though. Not to mention we're going to start another job probably on Thursday.

So here's everyone's warning: If I'm too tired to go out or do anything this week, you can thank the above pictures for me being dead tired. I can't afford to be beaten down when it comes time for our playoff hockey game this weekend.

Wish us luck, Jaker and I will sure need it.
