February 20 to 26, 2015; RV Show, new delivery truck and work routine

FEB 20, Friday;

Another easy day at work.  I helped Todd and two other employees in placing 3 windows in a new complex.  This was done by noon and once back at the shop, I had to make a delivery in Burnaby.  I got back around 2:30 pm and left for home at 3 pm.

We decided to go out to “Mr. MIKE Steak House” in town and had a very nice dinner.  We came home and watched the tube for a while before heading for bed.

FEB 21, Saturday; RV SHOW

We left the house by 10 am and went to the “TRADEX” in Abbotsford to the RV Show.  I have to admit it was a bit disappointing.  There wasn’t much in terms of benefit or info for snowbirds but we did visit a couple of Tiffin and Monaco Motorhome, one of which we fell in love at $386,000 but didn’t buy, PHEWWWWW!!!!!!!  On our way back, we stopped at COSTCO for buns but of course, bought more than that.  We stopped at our local favorite pub, had a beer and appies then home to a quiet evening

FEB 22, Sunday; Laundry day

Laundry and relaxing day…That’s our Sundays, also preparing for the upcoming work week.  We watched the “OSCARS” at 5 pm.  Val cooked a roast with all the trimming for dinner.

FEB 23, Monday; Off to work

I spent the day with Bob moving glass from one shop to the next.  We had to take the glass off the rack then move the racks to the other side (new shop).  We also had other contractors in working on the electrical system.  Kevin decided to put the chain saw to work and cut the doorway that I had started a couple days ago.  It was quite dusty for a while but we managed.  At home, Val worked a few hours today and after dinner, we watched the tube.  It was sunny but cool all day.

FEB 24, Tuesday; A new delivery truck

A mix of clouds and sun and cooler again.  Bob and I spent the morning moving the glass back into the racks which are now in their new place in shop 2.  We also had contractors working on the electrical system and the alarm system.  Kevin has decided to install cameras at the rear of the building.  In the afternoon, Bob went to help Todd and Tanner while I took the rented truck back to Langley and picked up our new truck, which is the same length, model as the old one.  I also picked up new glass and a door while in Langley then headed back home to the shop.  The last hour and half was spent setting up the truck to our liking and entering the addresses of businesses to “Favorites” in the GPS.

FEB 25, Wednesday;

The day began slowly; I did a couple little jobs around the shop then loaded the recycling bin and went over to where Todd and his crew are working.  We loaded the pile of recycling aluminium that they made and I took that to Langley and cashed it in.  From here, I went to METRIE then to ALUMINEX and after loading windows and frames, I went to Abbotsford to give Rob and his crew an extra hand.  At 3:30, I went back to the Home Shop and unloaded the lot then cleaned up.  One of the worker was let go today due to lack of performance.  At home, we had a nice dinner then watched the tube for a while before heading to bed.  Val worked today; 7 to 2pm

FEB 26, Thursday;

I went to Langley and Aldergrove then to Burnaby and New-Westminster for some pick up and delivery.  I got back at 1:30 pm and unloaded then helped Graeme to ensure we had everything as per the packing slips.  I did some clean up around the truck and workshop then delivered a load of steel doors that I picked up today, near here in Chilliwack.  A nice day overall with rain in the am and clouds in the pm but very cool again.  We had left over for dinner then watched the tube
