It's too hot out...

Second day in a row it's been too hot out for the good of all.

We got a late start yesterday, with Cameron in California we don't have a sitter so I can't leave the house until Mike gets on the bus. Not that I mind, but it makes getting to the job before 9:00 pm impossible. Jen's picked Jeff up on her way home yesterday and today, add to that the side trip to Rhino Seed here in Brighton both days so I can pick up some grass seed for Tim and we end up on site at 9:30ish.

Yesterday was the big day, it was so hot up we decided that we would take a long lunch, which turned into an hour or so. By 3:00 we had completely finished the part of the job that we had to do. In order of the the prime contractor to get his $200,000 incentive bonus we had to have Telegraph Rd between Michigan Ave and Cherry Hill completely done and open by June first. At 3:00 we had it finished and ready to roll, so we quit for the day. It's nice to be a head of schedule for once. Today, and probably for the rest of the week will be work a head of what we need to, which translates into a slower pace and quitting when it just gets too hot out to work.

Today we quit at 3:30 again, because it was 90 out and we had to cross Telegraph Rd with the tractor to spread dirt. Did I mention we where working by a school that lets out at 3:00. So yea, it was taking 15 mins a pop to try to cross, even with stop signs and arrow boards.

Jeff did good, he finished out both yesterday and today. Though by the end of today he was ready to die. But then so was I and I'm used to both the work and the heat. The work it's self isn't bad, but in extreme heat it get tiring quick.

Tomorrow we plan on knocking out the rest of the work. By 3:30 tomorrow we should be done with everything we can do on the job site until they move on. So we will be moving to our next job.
