I have been buried in the office most of the week dealing with paperwork, estimates, and other such unavoidable evils.
I suspect that many of you here have the same problem I do-more and more, I have to do other peoples work for them, or stay on top of them constantly to make sure they are doing their jobs, or carefully double check their work for accuracy in ways I never used to have to do. I’m talking about vendors, service providers, sales people, etc. it’s downright frustrating and disappointing at how much time it sucks out of my week. And even more frustrating because I’m spending so much time doing other people work, I now struggle to do my own and as a result fall behind on my responsibilities to our customers.
I feel it bears mentioning here because I suspect a lot of us are fighting this same battle these last couple years.
Ugg.
Anyway, enough of that.
One thing we did do this week was something I used to do quite a bit of-propane reseller installation. We wrapped up a somewhat elaborate installation of an explosion proof scale at this particular reseller installation we started several months ago( the scale was added to the scope of work and took quite some time to show up at the job).
We had to build a little strut structure to mount the power supply and display, and do some more rigid conduit work to tie in the high voltage side of the scale.

The scale itself had rather poor connection diagrams and instructions and ended up being quite the time consuming installation.
After a long day of getting everything in place, connected and functioning-combined with the headaches a defective shunt-trip breaker caused us-we wrapped up the installation long after the sun went down as the moon was coming up
