Don't feel dumb about asking questions....anything you ask is usually a question that others wanted to know about, but DIDN'T ask.

U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Robert W. Jarvis and Lance Cpl. Ian S. Whoehler sweep the side of a small berm for any weapons caches. Both are assigned to the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment. Engineers conducted cache sweeps north of Fallujah, Iraq, Jan. 18-20, 2007. They traveled 31.4 km in two-man teams. During the three-day operation they uncovered a missile, seven 14.5 mm heavy machine-guns, over 8,000 rounds, around 30 mortar rounds and various rifles.U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.

U.S Marine Cpl. Timothy W. Literal assigned to 1st Combat Engineers Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, carries the barrel of a 14.5 mm heavy machine-gun. Engineers conducted weapons cache sweeps north of Fallujah, Iraq, Jan. 18-20, 2007. Marines searched every berm along their 31.4 km search. They checked everywhere their metal detectors sounded. Most of the time it was trash but they did end up with some large caches at the end of the mission. Engineers were happy to take the weapons away from insurgents and help Coalition Forces.

I was my usual morning wake up self..When he called at 7amish I said "So soon?", sarcastically..It's been months since I signed the contract.LOL

.Of course I was shocked at the 30 minute notice..but really anxious to get the work done..These guys have been hard at it all day but will not finish painting and small jobs today ..He just told me thhe could not return til Monday..I think this company overbooks jobs.

They have torn out and rebuilt the trellis structure over one area of my patio which meant replacing large beams. I have had lawn chairs placed on the patio under one beam for months to avoid walking under a rotten beam.

I could just see it finally giving way and crowning me or breaking my dining room sliding door. One big beam was hanging on another beam by a finger of wood. At least I won't have to worry about that any more.
They are sweeping up the mess,too.
