A Week to Forget October 20, 2008

As you can see from the picture, I’ve had some new neighbors during the last couple of days. All I can say is that Louisiana is one amazing, albeit rather strange, place.

 

I guess the best thing to say about the past week is that it’s over. Lot’s of crazy stuff went on including a very helpful mold remediation class, followed by an “interesting” history lesson from a Native American Chief, a 45 minute one-way trip to our warehouse only to realize the key I was given didn’t work, a second trip to the warehouse only to realize the place is in pretty rough shape due to numerous missing sheets of tin from the roof and years of neglect, another 45 minute one-way trip to pick up distribution supplies only to realize it was actually 7 pallets worth of stuff and we only had my work pickup and another small truck, numerous rescheduled work assignments due to homeowners waiting on FEMA and, well, let’s just say that those experiences were pretty good in comparison to the other things that happened during the week. And to top it all off, I finally got to see my first Michigan game since I got here and my boys got slaughtered.

 

On a positive note, I did get to see a most beautiful sunset tonight. Mister Mike hooked up a trailer behind his 4-wheeler and took Mark, Debbie (our new Construction and Office Managers), and me out to the levee behind his house. It was incredible.
