Have you ever seen a construction site? You know the portable buildings/ aluminum trailers that they use as offices at those sites? That is what I live in......with somebody else. We call them CHU's (Contanerized Housing Unit) So, its not too bad...it could be a tent like the one in Kuwait. The trailer is outfitted with a cheap metal or wooden locker and a single bed with an extremely cheap mattress. (It beats a cot) These trailers are like a magnet for sand/dust, especially the inside of the trailer. Keeping it clean is impossible. You can wipe off your desk and before long(5min) its covered in sand again. Its rediculous. Thank the lord that I bought a computer case that was dust proof. And of course, after having my own bathroom for years, I now share a bathroom with 100 other guys. I haul my stuff to and from this bathroom (about 100yards across a gravel lot) in my shower shoes. This bathroom is a trailer outfitted with showers sinks and toilets. Its pretty disgusting, especially when its been a while since they cleaned the place. Sometimes I just assume wipe down with baby wipes. I'll be lucky not to acquire some transmittable disease before I get back.:) But i'm immunized for just about everything so....no worries. My roomate in my trailer is another provider here in my unit. Nice guy. Thankfully we get along, and in truth, I just assume have a roommate. Otherwise it would get rather lonely.

ate on the deck tonight. Took me a while to get the dust/grime off of it too....but somehow I doubt it's the same as the dust you mention....you'll be happy to know that you are missing quite a flock of new mosquito's. They were happy to find Ashley in your absence, so once again, I was spared...
ReplyDeletealso, speaking of pests...we have spiders. BIG ONES. Called Terminix and they are coming Tuesday. The lady asked what the problem was. I told her spiders. She asked what kind. I said, "the kind that could eat you and me for lunch!". She said, "oh my!"
ReplyDeletecool new pics! Love them all!
ReplyDeleteglad you had some success with loading them all!
How many trailers are packed into that field? Looks like a whole village of them. They remind me of the dreaded portables that we teachers prayed not to be assigned to at the high school. At least you have air conditioners!
ReplyDeleteHundreds of trailers! Lots of what they call Hescoes that are like giant bins/bags of sand that are barriers.
