Mornin!

Got a buncha house related shit to take care of these days. The end is in sight however as after this bathroom is finished I don't wanna do a damn thing for a while.

Steve, I missed how the storage unit became a total loss. That's a HUGE bummer. :(

Nearing my 1 year anniversary with the current job. Took the job because I think I would actually like what they hired me to do, engineering. In one year I have only done about one month of real engineering, none of it in the past 7 months. Sales have been slow, hence the lack of work, so they have had me doing the sales schlep. There have been promises to get me on projects but there always seems to be a need for someone to lead a big proposal, I keep getting pinged for it. I hate sales work. I like this company but don't know how much longer I can deal with this.

Things are looking up, going in for the second de-turding of the morning

Why are those frames all in storage, steve? Either way, it's great that they're not toast.

I have managed the construction and set up of 4 grocery stores in the past 4 years the current one opens Sunday and now I'm on to a medical facility.

It will be so nice to build something more than a square box

If any of those frames are steel and were exposed to water, spray the inside of them with some WD40 ASAP to prevent rust.

So what happened to the storage unit anyway ?
A can of Fluid Film will do a better job to prevent rust, and it has the added feature of smelling like sheep. I'd still hit it with WD initially to help get any water out.

the only one that is steel is the ewr.....frames are just covered in a sooty black film from what my brother has said.....how/why the building caught fire...don't know.....

Why buy them to store 'em, though? You don't purge your stuff periodically?
