Out of Town

I can only think of one time that Jon has been out of town for work for more than a day. That was a long while back when he did some electrical work for a Residence Inn Marriott in Alabama. Last week, Jon flew to Orlando in the morning to look at a job and was home by late afternoon. He gave the company a bid and 4 days later was off to Orlando with his business partner and 2 helpers. They left Monday, March 1st in the morning and got home on Saturday late afternoon. All I can say is thank goodness for school. The job he did was for a company who had this office closed for some time now but they needed to get it back in shape to hand it over to the landlord so he could re rent it. So they pulled out and scrapped lots and lots of electrical wire that this company added while renting it. Fixed a few things put up over 1000 drop ceiling tiles, threw out a bunch of junk and garbage had excess furniture hauled away and vacuumed this enormous 2 story 50,000 sq foot office space and maybe a bit more but that is all I am really aware of. It turned out to be a very good job and some of that money is going to fund our 2 week Disney trip this June. We booked a rental house a month back in Orlando for 13 days in June and had money set aside for the rental house but didn't have any other money saved for entertainment (Disney tickets). We thought well we at least have one day tickets from our give a day get a day service we did a month ago but now we have ticket money so I can't wait. It has been far to long for our family. By the time we go it will be a couple weeks shy of 18 months since we last went. I am glad Jon is back but it looks like he will have to go back in another week to finish things up.
