Such a Thing as Crappy Clients?

Friday, August 28th, 2009

You may have heard me beefing on Twitter or Facebook about a recent "Crappy Client" that we had. I'd like to elaborate on that some.

Fire’s “Over”, but NOT Out

Monday, August 18th, 2008

6-24_plumesWell, after more than 60 days looking at the thick smoke and breathing the ash, the skies have finally cleared. I'm able to go back out without a respirator on and actually do some work! Our projects are so so far behind, it's ridiculous, but we've been working very hard on them to catch up. Here is a photo taken from our deck. Scary, eh? You can read more about it in BJ's journal of the fire and our preparations to fight it.

Fire Line

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Just went out onto the south porch to see if I could see the front through the smoke. The closest section, on Uncle Sam, is in places half way down the portion that we can see over the top of Elephant Mountain. This isn't much of a change from its position on the 6th (Sunday evening). When the fire is backing down the hill, it moves a lot slower. Advancing up the hill is another story. It feeds on the fuel that is being heated in front of and above it and it is supplied with an unobstructed flow of air from below; a perfect scenario, so it moves very rapidly. This is one reason why we are so concerned.
