Today as the forcaster said it rained all day. Not light rain, 62mm of rain! in 24 hours. By 6:00AM when I went to AWX there was already flooding on the streets I had to walk. I arrived at AWX at 6:05 hoping to be the first one in. I knew there would not be much work available because of the weather. It turned out that I was second in. I sat down and ate my PB&J sandwiches I had made the night before for breakfast. From there I proceeded to read the local newspaper, taking that pages that mentioned the [View Full Entry]

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=26635&l=8132c&id=503645207 Day 100!!!! We made it! Today we were up bright and early (5:20). As I have come to expect latly it rained most of the day. Work started at 6:30 and it was on the other side of the central business district. The job was with a removal company but we ended up moving desk equipment into an office building on different floors from the truck. We were told to expect to work until 12. This sounded great because we would be able to do some research on the trip before going to the 5 PM soccer game. As it [View Full Entry]

Today the rain continued again. It is forcasted for about the next week! I slept in again catching up on sleep. When I woke up Mike and I planned on making pancakes because he had found syrup on the free food shelf and we saw that pancake mix was the cheaper of the two requirements. Because of the rain it delayed us going downtown to pick up the mix. We ended up not making them until past 12 O'Clock. I was starving and went through a pound of pancakes on my own. The pancake mix was surprisingly very good for $1.99. [View Full Entry]

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=26632&l=cdfee&id=503645207 Today I slept in as long as I could. After 11 hours of sleeping I was feeling a little caught up on sleep. Not completly there but getting there. The rain continued all day today. In the two days before today Brisbane had received more rain then it generally did in a whole month. about 200 km up the coast where we will be in about two weeks there was a fair amount of flooding. Back to today, the rain continued to fall most of the day until around 5 O'Clock. During the day I worked on planning the trip [View Full Entry]

Today was exactly the same plan as yesterday. I took the 5:59 train which was the same as yesterday waiting at mcdonalds for Chris to pick me up. Today the weather was a little more extreme then yesterday with it raining 90% of the day. There were some errors done in measuring done yesterday so we had to dig a small trench along the whole frame so that we could fit the brush wood panels on. The day went by fairly fast working from 7:00 until 3:45. After work I took the train back into town. I stopped to pick up [View Full Entry]

Today I got up at 5:30. I was to be picked up at a train station called Grovely at 6:30. Everything went to plan arriving on time. The guy who was supposed to pick me up, Chris was a little late but the day went well. We were continuing on yesterdays work. The weather wasn't great with it being over cast most of the day. There was a bit of rain at certain stages, but not even enough to stop working. We ended up working all day until dark (6:00). After work we went to Mcdonalds and I grabbed a cone. [View Full Entry]

Today I was back working with Adrian. I arrived at work at 8:20 setting off straight away for a job site. The job site turned out to be about 5 minutes away. The job was to do about 100 metres of fencing along a amazing property in Everton Hills. Another guy who I had worked on a gazibo with before named Chris arrived. I ended up working with Chris all day as Adrian took off like usual. Adrian came back about 1 O'Clock to drop off stuff. At the same time he dropped off my pay for last week. My pay [View Full Entry]

Today I did not have work with Adrian. Because of this I had to go to AWX for the first time in a fairly long time. Was I ever happy this was the only time I had to go! I got to the office about 6:20 and read the paper which was fine. By about 7:00 I was still waiting and no one had been sent out yet. Things were starting to look like there would't be any work today. I sat around for a fairly long time after Mike and two others had left. Guys would come down saying they [View Full Entry]

Today was my only day off of the week so I tried to relax while getting a fair amount of stuff done. I slept I until around 9:30, sleeping about 10.5 hours. After that I grabbed a shower breakfast and checked my mail. After that I took the train to Fortitude Valley and went to a tattoo shop to price getting a tattoo. From there I went downtown and priced it at two other tattoo shops. That ended around 1:00 and from there I went to a backpacker travel place to price the rest of the trip and get a rough [View Full Entry]

Today I was planning on just finishing up the Corinda job. I woke up at 6:00 with a plan to take the 7:09 train to the site. I ended up looking for the wrong tran missing the train. I ended up not starying work until 8:15. The work was very difficult as I had to put the sticks that cover the top of the fence on. To add to this the fence was on a slope so It was impossible to set up a ladder. It ended up taking twice as long as I expected. I finally finished abour 2:15. Though [View Full Entry]
