January 12 to 16, 2015; More work

JAN 12, Monday; to work

We started a new project today; it is in Port Kells (Surrey), about two block away from where Jeff has his shop.  This is another big commercial project and should keep us busy for a few days.  I started the day by going to “Aluminex” to pick up frames then to the Kells project to drop it off and help Graeme and Rob in removing old windows then putting the new one in.  It was a cloudy but warm day and made the job more pleasant.  We got back to the shop by 5 pm and I was home by 6pm.  Time to relax!

JAN 13, Tuesday

We were back in Langley all day under fog (sunny in Chwk).  We tore off the old windows, 80 feet long then began the process of putting the new window frames in.  We got back at the shop by 5 pm and home by 6.  Val worked a few hours today

JAN 14, Wednesday

Back to Langley but first I had to pick up more frames in Aldergrove.  Sunny in Chwk but foggy all day in Langley; it makes it for a damp and cold day.  Home by 6:30 pm, another long day.

JAN 15, Thursday; transport

I had to do some pick-ups today, in Burnaby, Surrey, Aldergrove and Langley.  I also had to stop at HINO for a recall notice and had them install a new wiper at the same time.  I then went to the job site and unloaded the frames I had for this job and then took a window apart for the aluminium.  It was 5 pm by the time I got back to Chwk due to an accident on the highway.  There sure are a lot of those and the highway is straight and at times, 3 lanes!!?

JAN 16, Friday; TGIF or is it???

Our last day but busy again.  We started our day under rain but it soon cleared.  Joe was back at work today so everyone went to Langley.  I made a stop in Aldergrove to pick up the last of our frames then onward to Langley where we unloaded the load and Joe and I began rubbering the frames.  This process get the frames ready to receive the glass.  We got all the frames done when I got a call from Kevin to return to home base and load all the windows and door frames for another job.  We got that done then it was time to call it quit.  I got home at 5:30 pm and we had a relaxing evening.  Val worked again today and connected with people she knew from way back.  She also got her FIRST pay cheque to day.
