26/ So now we pop forward to yesterday around 6pm, after work. I look at my greenhouse and notice that there's a small rip on one side. Well, it's Friday night, and it's getting dark soon. But I'm gonna deal with this first thing Saturday morning. I've got special tape, etc.

38/ What's that hole? Interesting. It's the exact right size for the bolts...did I drill this a few minutes ago in the wrong location? No.... O.M.G. Two memories come rushing back.

39/ One: me building the greenhouse, and USING BOLTS TO ANCHOR THE C CHANNEL (that's what the hole is from: 2014 or so) Two: me asking farmhand to replace some C channel as part of the re-skinning.

40/ THAT GOD DAMNED PIG !@#$-er took apart bolts and washers and nuts that I had installed in order to remove the old C-channel, threw the bolts away (I'm guessing), and then reinstalled the C-channel...not w with the bolts...but with GOD DAMNED DECKING SCREWS.

41/ 100% agreed. I'd decided last November, after that bs, that I would never use him again. This spring started thinking "well, if I ever need two guys at the same time, I can bring him in to help my new farmhand". ...then decided "no, NEVER again" https://twitter.com/jan30982573/status/992899654483312642 …

42/ Anyway, I've been insanely angry all day long. Not only did he waste my Saturday morning, not only did he half-ruin a still-basically-brand-new greenhouse skin, but he had the right answer right in front of him, and ACTIVELY threw it away in order to do the wrong thing.

43/ I've avoided beating my wife and kicking the dogs all day long, which is a decent accomplishment given the blood-boiling rage I'm still riding. ...but barely. I want to !@#-ing kill that guy.

44/ I actually had a headlamp I was using. The bucket forks were oriented at an angle where, viewed end on from the height of my eyes above the ground, they effectively disappeared into the tractor bucket 4 feet away. Never once walked into them side on. Always end on. https://twitter.com/magsinok/status/992902140359266305 …

46/ In other news, the piglets I ordered through the farm store will arrive on the 19th. Two weeks! Just three, though, not 16.

48/ Yep. Dude has many issues. Also, I noticed empty beer bottles showing up in my barn garbage can, and many days his workers would work while he "slept" after a long night "staying up too late with friends". https://twitter.com/JarlOfRedmond/status/992904800084705280 …

49/ Fairly convinced that he's an alcoholic and he's been slipping further down the greased slide the last year or so. You hang w friends till 4am once, nap in your truck? Ok, I can believe that. It happens 4-5 times? Dude, let's just call a hangover a hangover.

52/ I'm just realizing that I hired a farmhand way back before I bought a farm. I need to tell y'all the story of the time I hired a drifter to help me demolish an addition. (And maybe also the story of the time I tore down a chimney, for new friends)https://twitter.com/dustdevil313/status/992936218189905922?s=19 …
