140bags in and I'm shattered

[FYIfloors]

Hi,

Have been missing all the chatter going on here.

Well we are 140 bags into the 800 bag job and I moved 67 of them @ 25kg each Have just spent the last two days knotch trowling epoxy on the floor and broadcasting sand ready for the next stage and I have to say I am shattered. Forgot my knee pads yesterday and couldnt walk up my stairs to my house when I got home(there is only 3), there is something about kneeling on cold concrete all day that chills you to the bone or "is it old age?" Fixed it with a hot shower and a real hot wheat bag.

Woke this morning to achey forearms, using the steering wheel really hurt!!!

Good news is I have almost saved enough money to come up to the states and although I really wanted to go to Selva's fall classes I'm gona miss them cause I cant get up there early enough.

We start the pour on Monday (and no we dont have a pump) so its two mixing stations and nothing but man/woman power

Missing all of you

Hmmm I feel for ya!
I'm lucky I guess that I don't have to do anything THAT strenuous!
I tell ya what works for me.....
I get home, have a hot shower to remove all the dust and stuff.....
Then I go and flop into the spa pool and crank the jets up full.....aaahhhhhh

thank the Good Man, or to be correct, maybe the Good Woman, Upstairs, I am at the age where I am too old to not do the things I don't want to do, and still young enough to do the things I want to do, now, I get to pick and choose.
so, reading this, I am too old.
sorry, i am one who can't be there to help

slt

I presume you are talking about the floor prep?

To tell you the truth I am enjoying the manual labour makes me feel alive again And the monies going towards my USA trip. You gotta do what you gotta do!!
