The journey into the abyss of no return

I wonder if that is where the myth about elephants being agfraid of mice came from - the squeaking of mice compared to the squealing of pigs.


Hidden speakers broadcasting pigs squealing at ear piercing decibels?

I mean if you want to get dirty like that then I can just do the frequency that drives dogs mad that humans can't hear and have all 6 dogs inside that camper going off. Yes I have the speakers for it already.

The house I was building is of no more, got as far as the piers and he decided to change his mind again. Now he bought a house in Hettinger, ND for $15k that he thinks is the answer, but what do I know I'm just his contractor.
He is going to winter it in the camper they are in and come spring I'm sure he is moving even though he said two years.

My opinion is he should finish the house, pay most of his land off he is currently on, then flip it on the market after two years to avoid capital gains taxes and then take the money from that and move on.

If he changes his mind again and wants me to finish the house, nope that bridge is burnt. I cleared my calendar for this project that was supposed to set me up for winter, now I'm plugging the holes from the ship sinking before snow flies in less than a month.
First up, moving boulders from on top of a ridge to front of where a house is going to be built for another customer. It’s in the picture where the shack is, is where the boulders will go and the house. Very steep!

YIKES! What a ____________. Winter it in a camper?! That's no picnic.

I still can't wrap my head around this whole house build that got tossed out the window. Seriously I spent countless hours designing it and putting material list together, he bought supplies for it. I hurried up and got my trailer repaired ($2k) to haul his materials that he never got.
Everything was lined up, I cleared my clients and didn't accept no more for it, we put the piers down for it. Not like we were building a dog house and decided to not start it.
He was buying horses from someone, yeah he actually said he already put half down on one. They got 5 goats in the middle of this, I was his go to for water till we get a well in next spring/summer.

He had so much going for him that you couldn't find out here and wasn't here when I first got here. I feel he will try to back track after he finds out the $15k house he bought that someone spent $100k on is a rip off. Feel betrayed in a way for all I was offering. If he makes it through this winter there won't be any water from me from here on out, I'm not offering my services no more.
At this point he sits at never getting rock for his driveway, a water well will not be drilled for years and he will have to pay a premium to have his house finished or whatever he decides to have built. I even put his power in for less than a electrician would come out for.

They have to learn . . . .
Usually the hard was like the rest of us.
