Woke up early in the van because the light was so bright coming throught the back windows. Benny was fast asleep untill I started moving about. I was having a bizarre dream about smoking Bennies pipe and dropping it out the bus window or something like that. Had to get up twice. Once at 5am and then again at 830am. I was surprised cause the early riser beside me was still fast asleep. I couldnt find the handle the first time I had to go. We locked ourselves in incase the muslims came Benny said!! Ha just kidding. I had a bit of a bad dream too that was odd. It was about me dropping Bennies pipe out the window of a bus. Hmm i dont know where that came from. Woke up and had a ... read more

No sleeping in no chance by Bennies watch even though my body was begging for it. Or maybe more so, my mind. Had to get up early.I was thinking to myself why does he want me to come to work with him when its only a simple 2 hr job. He told me because he wanted to get it done as quick as possible so we could get on the road and cover some tracks. Fair enough. No making a lunch today. We drove up past Slagelse to this summer house little village. The guy we were working for was Bennies accountant. He was an old dude, but he and his wife came out and said hello and showed us the door to be fixed. Some guy who did a reno on the place did a ... read more

Friday today, Benny and I are off to see some of Denmark tommorow. I had an idea of what I wanted to see but nothing exact. I knew I wanted to see as much as possible, without breaking the bank. Made the ol lunch. Having the same thing everyday didnt really tire me at all. Only thing I needed was more veggies cause Danes dont eat too many. Brought some white pickles today. MMMM so good. Very sweet tasting. Filled up my travel mug and we were off. Got to the job for our mini break. We were gonna finish off the roof today so I didnt know if I would be working much next week. Take it one day at a time. Benny didnt really metion much to Thomas about my hours so I just ... read more

Woke up haggered from fishing yesterday for some reason. We only stayed out till 11ish and I got to bed by midnight so I dont know what was wrong with me. Got up a bit late and Benny was kind of waiting for me get going. He is the quiet type so you would never hear him shouting or anything. I did my best to throw the old lunch together but there was only a bit of meat left. Someone forgot to pick up groceries haha. Benny had to have a sandwhich with nothing but Caviar on it, but it wasnt the fancy stuff it was out of a squeeze bottle. Oh man he loaded it on to. HAHA got into the car and off we were for the sixth consecutive day of work. Benny told ... read more

Tuesday today and yah another day of work. Nice day again though so that was good. Made the old lunch and had a bowl of my what looked like big oats and milk. Tasteless but they filled the gap for the start of a long day. Today when we got the job site a couple mins late, we took a 10 minute coffee break right away, sitting in the van sipping coffee. It wasnt gonna be a dull day today. I was worried yesterday that there wasnt gonna be enough work for Thomas to keep me on for even a week. So that was a bit of a relief. We started ripping apart another section of the roof, Benny and I. We had to use a mobile piece of scafolding to get these huge timbers down, ... read more

Monday morning all over again. Didnt really feel like much of a weekend. It was great to be working and not blowing money for once. I was starting to pannick in Sweden with spending so much money. I knew it would be expensive but I thought theres always ways around it. So this was one of the ways. I was really thankful number one for Benny to set me up with this job, without him theres no way I would have found work in Denmark. Number two to be making Danish Krones which are a strong currency. Its about 5 to 1 for Canadian Dollars. Meaning that 5 Krones equals 1 dollar. So this time we had to make lunch. No fancy work today. Got to the site around 8 cause we had to pick up ... read more

Sunday morning and now I was starting to get used to the schedule, but thats not saying it was easy. The best part was that I didnt have to worry about making a lunch today! Benny pretty much gaurenteed the family would have something for us again. I dont know how he knew they were gonna be home, maybe he talked to them! He surprised this morning with something though. He got up early and put the Canadian flag up. Aww that was really nice of him. I asked him if we could do it last night but he said no because its customary to put up the flag in the morning i think at 8 though! and take it down at the same time. We took the van to work. Back to see if the ... read more

Saturday morning on vacation and im up at 630!!! Ha not if Benny didnt wake me up thats for sure. HAHA i was a little groggy but I wasnt used to this crap anymore. Anyways got er going today we would be at a differnet place working on where the roof meets the side of the house. Made our lunches, grabbed our coffees and we were off. It was only 10 mins away from Bennies compared to 35 mins away to Korsor. We had to remember a few extra things in the morning but Benny took care of that action. We arrived at the guys house and Benny told me he was trying to sell it and the market wasnt so good so we had to make it look pretty! Rotten boards had to be ripped ... read more

Ahh Woke up bright and early kind of excited, but still a bit shocked at the early hour to see what was in store for me at work. It was pissing rain as it had been since I had made it to Kobenhavn yesterday afternoon. Benny had made coffee and laid out some things for breakfast for me. The night before he showed me some things that I could wear to work, including pants, his company tshirt, sweatshirt, and boots. He actually even gave me a hat that was way too small so I looked like a total goof. He brought out the lunch kit container from the fridge and said "take what you like" so i did and wrapped it all in wax paper with a cover on top for the soggy meats. All the ... read more
