It's been about a week since I last posted. The Mardi Gras break was last weekend and at the last minute, I left for 2 days. The vacation was not all that great. I got to see my family for a day, but I ended up being left there and spent a whole lot more time than I wanted to. I had some fun, but I would much rather have stayed in Ruston and worked on the site. The guys that were here did a great job on the piers and starting the rebar. Those of us who left jumped right in on putting rebar into the grades that we dug the week before. I have spent too much time on my stomach leaning into the grades to tie the rebar that my stomach really hurts now. My eyes are starting to hurt from constant glare and sunlight. I only wish that I could be getting a tan, but unfortunately it's still too cold for me to where short sleeves. Today, I got myself scratched by a nail poking out of a board.
Accidents have been happening on site a lot this past week. Poor Ashley broke her ribs after slipping and falling part way into a grade before the break. Shannon has a toe problem...(I don't know.) Morgan slipped just today. But all these bumps and bruises will not keep us from working on the house. Ashley is back with us (grabbing at her torso every now and then) but she had a smile on her face today. My face was covered in mud from working in the dirt. I dug a hole that was 3/4 the size of me. The inspectors joked that I was digging Dale Nugent's grave. I love Dale! He's amazing, and he's gonna get a great big dinner from all of us for all of the hard work he's put into this house...and all the times he's saved our butts!
...My eyes hurt...I'm done for the day.
