After installing 175 000 square feet of synthetic grass and eating around 600 sushis, I'm leaving Ontario and heading up to Winnipeg !

Crazy rain cloud coming in on us !!!
Hello all !

Today, we finished the last field of the Civic Center Complex in Oshawa. The complex has three turf fields; an outdoor stadium, a practice field and an indoor field. We worked our asses off over there but the result is great ! Each of them include some mens and womens lacrosse fields, soccer fields and football fields. All the different lines made my job a lot harder as I had to mesure everything up before shaving and gluing the colored lines on the green turf. Mais j'y suis arrivé ! En tout, 2 mois ont été nécessaires pour installer les terrains de FIELDTURF. Seriously, take a look at these fields ... The referees and the players are going to be soooooooo confused when there going to play on there !!! Anyways, we got paid for it, so I'm happy :) La vie au Travelodge à Oshawa commencait à être longue ... Par chance, nous prenions le temps d'aller décompresser dans quelques bons restaurants le soir sans penser au travail que nous avions à faire. 

We didn't get lucky as we got crapy/rainy weather when we had to work outside and beautiful/sunny weather when working inside. Je n'ai donc pas pu profiter du soleil ... Cette semaine, malgré la défaite pitoyable des Canucks dans le 7ième match de la finale de la coupe Stanley, tout c'est super bien passé ! I shaved (with a speepshear) 5 soccer fields and 6 lacrosse fields in 4 days ... I was pretty proud of it ! Its an insane amount of work, we had to work almost 80 hours a week to finish the last project in 10 days. Days were tough and long but the last two of them were really productive as we filled the fake grass with 300 tons of sand and rubber; thats enough material to cover up a two floor house ! 

Anyways, now I'm taking a small break at home and then I'll be driving up to Winnipeg to start some new fields over there. Take a look at what we did ;)
