It was a messy messy Monday


]
The temperature had to be at least 45 for 5 straight days......so we bought a bunch of heaters.....and taped up the stairways, kept the doors closed and of course the windows. At 11 each night I had to go up on the hill and fill up the tank with kerosene so they would run 24/7.


The weather man had said it would be in the 50's all week, so it was time to fix the last effect of August 2nd. The electricial outlets on the floor were taped over, they run a vac over the floor and a sealer was applied.....


Last week a truck load of sand was delivered, and first thing on Monday the crew showed up, lots of them.


They even had their own kitty cat with a tiny bucket on it......well there was a reason I guess.


A scoop of sand and four bags of hydrated calcium sulfate, OK, OK, gypsum is the slang name for it...and add a couple cups of water and you are ready to make some good stuff....


Ears plugs, gloves, eye wear and a towel around nose/mouth talk about loving a job.......even the plumber had to over see this.


Dump the gypsum and the dust begins....and man it was dusty.


As the water comes in on the left side in the mixing chamber, then it comes out into the delivery holding area on the right side.......what does this look like.......


Well, chocolate milk......thick chocolate milk.


The process was simple, dump in some sand, some gypsum and water....mix it and then pump it up the second floor. Now comes the fun, you have about 15 minutes to Get-r-done.......and level!!!
