Building Fun at Jim-n-Lauren's

[Lloyd Danforth]

too long a road

I've never seen it.  You could do a good job on a small area or spread 'some' around a larger area and pack it down by driving on it and add more later.  You need it mainly on the tracks, not the middle.  You could start near dangerous curves or troublesome hills.

Yeah there are several 100 foot long bad spots... mustly in the flat areas. The town has over the years dump large gravel into the worst spots and it is better than it used to be...

Hundreds of cubic yards of coarse stone has disappeared in to the road.

I thought it was your driveway.  I have used the gravel roads in the Northeast KIngdom and found them pretty good....'specially after grading, but,  even rutted, I neve came close to getting stuck  climbing the mountain I have to climb.

So our safety officer decides not to show up on the job site and well, well, well I fell of the ladder...

It's all your fault John.

How was I supposed to know... John wasn't there to tell me.

Looks like a nice day for it...   I'm busy on the computer today.

See what happens when Freedom is allowed to get out of hand.  Don't you know that the "regulations" say that when you "screw up" (and that is a direct quote from the Regs.) like that, it means you have to SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN until a "proper inspector" gets out to that site.  Because - as we all know - accidents NEVER happen when folks have people looking over their shoulders.

It may be weeks 'till we can get a "proper inspector" out to that site in the wild west.  Then, we'll need to see that you have had "proper paperwork" to help your friends.  (Do you have proper "I Like To Help My Friends" papers?)  We can't just have friends helping friends - and taking scrapes and bruises - without the "proper" paperwork; don't you know?

Oh wait!  I'm looking at the wrong set of Regs. here.  Please carry on.
And I hope everyone (especially the women and children) works/plays safely until I return!

BTW - The Regs. allow me some discretion here    and I'll need to asses a fine!
We'll call it a paperwork fee, because we know how some folks don't like fines.
When I make it out to the wild west, I'll expect to collect at least one sticky bun and maybe a glass of juice.  Then we can put this matter behind us.

The irony of the situation was as Jim was sliding a ceiling joist, we had made by sistering two 2x4s, over I saw some nails stinking through and was saying we need to do something about that so that someone doesn't cut themselves on... ahhhhhhhh, thud.

So see my safety fetish lead to the accident.
