    Haven't done this load in a while . Tile out of Houston to our customer in Phoenix... wonder if these got hit by the tariffs .. some of the ones I've hauled before seem to come from turkey.

    Looks like the cupolas were fun. Light sheet metal?

    Gates and fences don’t bother me.

    Cupolas weren’t as bad as I expected/
    Thin sheet metal with zero tie down points and lots of overhanging bracketry
    The grates were painful
    275~ pounds each I’d guess
    Had to organize and stack with “Eric”
    Now; none of you know Eric- but you all know an Eric
    Working with Eric is a lot like working alone, except you have a warm body constantly standing around in the way and getting himself into positions that are vulnerable to crushing, squishing or smashing. Quick to jump in when his boss comes around and put himself between a bunch of heavy hard things that want to come together: then say some office people type #### to show he’s not aware at all of what is happening or why.

    I had a day off Easter Sunday and I had a day off this past sunday to go pay for a party for a birthday party for a family member.


    Tomorrow all I gotta do is load for thursday. I’m pretty burnt out and I’m looking forward to a day out of the truck.

    Grates, my brain was reading gates…
    Those look like even more fun. About as fun as cattle grates.

    Hey, I know Eric. That guy gets around. He is everywhere.
