Weather? no problem !




Well as projects proceed we have weather issues, Wind ,rain, temperature and other factors all have something to do with pouring foundations and building bulkheads and such. The guys who work down here don't let the weather stop them unless totally necessary. They bundle up an they build foundations as long as the temperature in 33 degrees F or above. When it's below they are digging and prepping the site for a build or a pour.

Very hard working people and used to the weather being in climate. Bulk heads can be built as long as the water doesn't freeze and even of It does they plod on. It's really fun to watch. This Sunday the Philadelphia Eagles play the New York Giants. Being a life time Giants fan and living in south Jersey it is a very emotional game. My real fear is that the Eagles will win and then win two more games and win the super bowl.

If that happens the problem is that all this summer I will have to en dour the Philly fans wearing t shirts, sweatshirts and hats all summer ,and that will be very painful.
I suppose I am happy for the Philly fans who have now won a World Series and are hoping for a Super Bowl. I get the chills when I think of it, but the truth is it is a game, and how unimportant it is unless your team wins. Here are some shots of the foundation of one house ,and the bulkhead being built on the other house. Also shots of my builder taking the shed off the property in one piece so he can put on his and have a little construction office...Great idea.
