OK I guess this is sort of a personal opinion comment that relates to papercrete and all construction really. I have a lot of friends who come by my building site regularly to help out or just to watch me work. They all bring their dogs. I know my sharing the fact that I am not overly fond of dogs could possibly alienate me from a lot of people. I love animals, I just don't have that dog obsession that others have.
I will admit that when I am in the papercreting mode I am sort of crazy, want to keep moving, work fast to get the mixer filled and moving, want to get the slurry into the forms asap. The problem is that the dogs are always in the way and as soon as I start moving the truck everyone starts yelling that I'm not carefull enough, that I'm going to run over their dogs. Papercrete is a labor intensive thing and by the end of the day I am really tired and admitedly crabby and snappy.
Yesterday there were about 2 dogs to every person and I finally blew my top (after working around all the people and dogs all day) and issued an edict that there would be no more dogs at the building site. The result is that now no one wants to come and work with me, not that I expect free labor or anything. I like it that people are interested and that they want to spend time with me and my project and we do have fun while working. I love what I'm doing and appreciate the company and the help.
I guess I just needed to vent a bit, and perhaps should have kept this to myself, but if anyone feels this is worth a comment I welcome it. Thanks.
Sincerely, Judith
