We do a lot of construction project flights. We fly a site once a month and the customer has a neat record of the progress month to month. This one site is a new specialist hospital on the edge of a very exclusive neighborhood.

This poor pitiful hovel of a house is just finishing construction and since it is on the edge of the neighborhood it is the low end cheapie area. This house is behind the construction site we are shooting.



The pool area is surrounded by garages and shop space. Virtually the entire yard is paved! The driveway goes completely around the house. And this really is the cheap area! The neighborhood is one entire square mile. Gated community with a golf course and a big clubhouse. Some of the houses in the extra exclusive areas are so big that we have heard stories of people looking for the country club and walking into a home with their golf clubs.

It is amazing that many people have that much money, or debt & credit.

Discovered why my guest bedroom is 5 degrees hotter than the rest of the house. Why my garage gets so freakin hot, and why my cars are always getting super dusty even just over night.

There were only 4 soffet vents for my attic, they are at the back of the house and two wind turbines. No attic air is being pulled from over the guest bedroom or garage. AND because there are not enough intake vents the turbine vents are sucking air through the heater closet in the garage pulling dust and dirt into the garage.

Along with changing to a ridge vent am adding soffet vents to the soffets on either side of my garage and guest bedroom. Will be interesting to see if that helps either the temps in the guest bedroom and garage, and the dust situation in the garage.

How in the hell does Owen Wilson get any acting parts beyond an extra on the B side of a Sesame Street episode?

You can have it back. I'm done with it.

I'm home today, sulking. Bloody cold - now it hurts like hell to swallow anything and I'm barking like a dog

They take their head off and stick a pumpkin in it's place. They're nutters but great to watch.

Now this is really nuts - off road sidecars
