Mood: More kiting !!!
|
|
I did time lapse of me making new kitchen .... gone ... with my broken HD ...
Me and Jaymz are also self employed in construction ... When wind blows we work just like on video above ..... to finish 8h project in 4h and have
some time on beach ....
I skip countless amount of days at work..... and then also I finish many projects ahead of time because of time needed for kiting ..... Just like
today .... I got home 20min ago after 11h of work just in case one of week day will provide perfect wind conditions .....

I'm a... Finish carpenter, cabinet maker, locksmith, and metal fabricator and I work in facilities maintenance.
I've often considered being self employed, but I have to have health insurance,... And I love my job.
Oh yeah,... I like kites too.
Other than your crack,... Good vid Carl.
I'm going to take a nap now

the tiles where 50x50cm and the bathroom was only small 
the guy at the door was the home owner who had just come back from work and was heaping praise on me for such a great job!!!
the silver thing hanging from the ceiling is a towel heater/radiator that has an electric supply going to it so you can heat the towels without having
the central heating on. the cable had to go under the floor so to keep it out of the way while i tiled the floor, i suspended it from the
rafters.

we have a thing in the UK called the National Health Service which is free healthcare for all. i really cant see why the USA cant have this system.
i couldnt imagine going to a hospital and being turned away because i didnt have insurance.
