Dave and Chooky arrived last night. They began work today bright and early along with the rest of us. Some of our steel pipe also arrived yesterday afternoon and as such welding has begun. When all goes well with the delivery of additional steel, we’ll have concrete on the ground by the end of the week.

Stay tuned….

Today the deep end of the big bowl was dug. We will finish grading it tomorrow and then onto the forms and rebar.

Anybody who tells me Sweden is cold was not in Avesta today.

PTR – Lost in Translation

Filed under: Uncategorized — hauser @ 5:55 pm

It is not PTR’s first job away from home, nor first job in Sweden, yet I still can’t hardly get over how hard things can be, and get lost, in translation (work + travel = work x 2).

Here Yesi applies the companies initials to company property so things won’t end up lost.
