The rhythm of work has settled in at the job site outside of Calvert, TX and whenever that happens, the blog posts dwindle in number.
Some readers may think I enjoy the harsh environment at some of our more remote job sites and they would be right. Some readers may think I am just a cheapskate and prefer not to pay for a spot in an RV park and they would be right… and some

All hooked up and ready to go
I start each of these job site moves with some trepidation. After all, my motor home is 17 years old and it is getting a little long in the tooth.
This move caused a little more concern than past moves.

It is still too wet to work here north of Newton, TX with almost 4″ of rainfall last week. I have been throwing myself into the research portion of this project and I have just one thing to say Is there no original content left on the Internet? I have tried every combination of search

The unseasonably cold weather brought on the rain which was not a surprise. You don’t have to be a meteorologist to figure out what happens when a cold push of northern air meets the warm moist air coming out of the gulf. From Thursday until Saturday, we got over 3″ of slow soaking rain.
Needless to say, the excavation work ground to a halt. When I first started doing this work it amazed
