Heard my doorbell (i.e. Whip started barking). It was the guy from Dirt Cheap Excavating plus an assistant. He'd worked on building the base for Mjolnir and fixing my driveway after all of the big trucks rutted it up. He greeted me w/ "
I heard you wanted another cement truck stuck in your driveway." I showed them where the new building was staked and answered questions about the height of the slab (a level that Builder Mike had labeled on each stake), where doors would be located, and a short discussion on the power line that runs just beyond the perimeter. We then both lapsed into relating to the assistant what had happened when two cement trucks got stuck here a couple of years ago. The assistant asked if he could dump the fill for Sleipnir's base on my driveway. He'd leave enough room to drive around it. Then they both were off to check out another job in the next town over. The assistant came back in the afternoon w/ three loads of sand and one of gravel.
Post Note: I've got to stop greeting people who come w/ "
Both I and the dog have all of our shots." I thought it was kinda cute but people either misunderstand (one asked if the dog bites) or looked at me funny (and not in the 'ha-ha' way). In the future will just mention that I have been vaccinated so no worries.
