I haven't been on here for awhile, due to working crazy hours trying to make enough cash to get our trailer ready to live in before the old adobe house falls down completely.
I've been working at a friend's shop, building a food truck (the first of three) for a customer. Any time away from there is spent working on the interior remodel of the trailer, waiting for warm weather. I need the ground to thaw out enough to dig a couple trenches.
About ten days ago, I stepped out the back of the truck onto the back bumper, then onto a step we use to bridge the space between the floor and bumper. As I put my foot on the step, it slid out from under me, causing me to fall pretty hard, hitting the back of my head on the bumper before crashing to the concrete floor.
Long story short, I'm jacked up and won't be able to work either at the shop or at home for awhile. Torn rotator cuff, sprained neck (luckily no broken vertebrae), severe muscle spasms in my back, a chipped bone in my elbow, and lots of other sore places.
We don't have the funds to hire people to finish the trailer, so if the house decides to fall over, we'll need to move in with our son until I can get back to work and make enough to finish the trailer. Needless to say, it looks as if I won't be doing anything with the Heathen any time soon. Maybe next Spring...
I'm not looking for sympathy; I just thought I'd let you folks know why I've been absent. I hope you all have a great Spring, and I'll check in again some day (hopefully to say I have a safe place to live). I hope all of you have a superb Spring and a sunny summer. Animal
