TIMMMMBBBEEEEERRRRRR!!!

its been a while that I've looked forward for the weekend to be over as going back to my construction job.... being high on scaffolding while tied to a truss on the roof... is easy compared to what we were doing (last) weekend!
I'd say this has been one of the busier, crazier, hard-workin' and yes... fun weekends! I think now I can be officially be called BUBBA-Jup! :) All I need is a pair of dem overalls! The weekend started with J,M & family comin' over to help move some of their things from the garage to the shed... which was in quite the state... so the weekend started with cleanin' and fixin' up of the shed... friday-- clean and re-insulate, saturday-board up busted sections (damn these country mice must have a tooth-sharpening contract with the local dentist or something!) and loading up the place. Lets not forget diversion day (http://www.simcoe.com/sc/alliston/lifestyles/story/3024605p-3506612c.html ) and that was followed by some serious tree cutting on sat & sun. Yes, I'm not big on cutting down trees but tall wobbley Poplars and electrical poles aren't a good match in the country! Now that Ontario Hydro is privatised... dealing with these high-tension & voltage wires is considered our fun time activity (as its on whats considered a "private" road). It was some serious hard work and it was awesome to have our neighbours involved (and M's awesome portugese food after)... Here's a pic of "L" climbing up one of the trees that was threating the electrical pole.See if you can spot him in the tree.S & J looking on in awe! Man that was a crazy fun time! :)
