Honesty

Does honesty pay off?  I do a lot of work for a large cabinet company in the Jacksonville area.  I noticed areas of my bill where they would trim dollars.  Kind of hurts since we have been cut a number of times already.   Anyway, I found a line item where they actually overpaid.  And I brought it to the attention of the guy who runs the bills.  His reaction was not "thank you", but "will look into it Monday."

'sposed to hit 100 on Wednesday.  Makes work a little more challenging.  End up sweating all over the cabinets.

Install Today

Install went great today.  That large laminate counter-top was easily handled.  Only lifted it one time with the help of the truck driver.  We moved two base cabinet boxes next to the half wall and placed the counter top on the half wall and the base cabinet boxes.  When the cabinets were installed at the half wall, I only had to slide the massive counter top into position.  Credit for the idea goes to DT.

Laminate Counter Tops

Have a 100" by 60" Formica counter top to install tomorrow as part of a cabinet installation.  There are only two problems with this 1.  It is too bulky and heavy to move into position by myself.  2.  I work by myself.  My current plan is to have the truck driver help me position so I only have to lift it on one end to install.  None of the installers I know like laminate counter tops.

Cabinet Job

The great thing about working for yourself is you get to learn about the value of time.  I was able to finish the job that started Monday today before noon.  However, I did stay later than I wanted yesterday to make today go easier.  Making good use of my time, I completed the application for my workers compensation exemption package which is due every two years.  They say to allow 45 days,  Mailing it today gives me a 36 day cushion.
