WAYWT - The Hard Labour Edition aka "Working in your workwear".
-
Started a new job a couple of weeks ago
We have taken down a couple of massive trees, a York stone wall, shed and got rid of the lawn and spread 20 tonnes of top soil. We are going to put a rockery in with retaining wall as well as various over things to basically transform this tired garden.
burnt the shed
which I really enjoyed
lawn off
recused a family of mice
all while wearing my 634s GR and my 141
oh and got to drive a dumper for the first time
Can't say I miss the office life at all!!
Oh here is how the jeans are getting along
Looking forward to getting my DWC 888's because I think they will look great after a few months of hard work

Only getting one or two days a week in on this project, but it'll be finished by the time the earth freezes and that's the only thing that matters.
The beam frame for the last section of deck is down.
SH-106 and IH-301 are the best working clothes in 5C
I had a little help today too:

Nice work mate. Going to look quality when completed

Right thread
Awesome job
How the heck you manage all that laying wood with all the laying wood you do?
Again awesome job & you have to share your vitality secret with the rest of us mere mortals
-
Nine plus months after the inital wood laying, having a massive building project to get you out of the house now and again is just strategic adulting, especially given that I'm primary care giver 3 days a week (Norwegian paternal leave is generous and seriously grounded in high falutin' ideas about equality and shit).

That needs to be soon… it's getting bloody chilly out there. Thanks though
-
Wait a minute you only have to work 2 days a week?! I mean looking after kids isn't exactly a breeze as I can testify

Got to get @neph93 into a union, way too much working going on
Seriously though, good on you
Do you have to get permits & licenses to build new structures on your property?

As a dad, you get two full weeks off straight after the birth, plus 50 days with full pay. You can take them however you want, but I'm spreading them out in such a way that I only work 2 days a week from September to January this year. In addition to that there's a pot of days that either Ingrid or I can take, but not both. We still have a shitload left so I'll be taking more time in 2018

Not for everything, the new bit of decking doesn't need one as it's not high enough . The outhouse and veranda should have been applied for but I didn't bother. The extension you can see at the back was applied for and approved. The rules and application processes are a bitch but the only way you'll get busted is if you fuck with pipes or cables, encroach on the road or if your neighbour complains.

I'm doing some work in my backyard, going to start some gardening/landscaping and making a better back patio next spring, so I thought I'd get a head start this fall. I'm also doing some trail grooming in my woods. I'll give the 33 and 666s-21od here their first wash after a few more muddy days.

My hair is now short enough to allow wearing this again.
