Click Here for Chronological Log View

 *  Caution should be exercised when examining the hours in this Log.  There are many different ways in which builders record hours. Initially I attenpted to be very accurate and recorded hours to the /tenth/ . As time progressed I began recording only to the nearest 1/4 hr. Additionally I only record actual time spent working. Breaks, meals, phone calls, Matronics look-up, are NOT included. I believe that in hindsight these hours may be a little conservative as some times I f a task took longer than I think it should have taken due to some stupidity on my part I only reorded  what  it should have taken. Beyond the hours listed here. I can say that there are  an almost equal number of hours I spent, planning, ordering, researching, monitoring Matronics and VAF, Updating this website, etc.
