Non-stop

             Non-stop There are four people that live in my house, including myself, that are constantly on the move. My dad though is like the energizer bunny, non-stop from the time he gets up for work till the time he goes to bed. At work he does physical labor, anything from digging ditches to operating back hoes, he does it. When he gets off work at 3:30 p.m. you would think that he would want to sit down and rest; no not in his case.

Carefully he would compare and contrast the estimates the contractors would give him like a child trying to decide what kind of toy they wanted. Finally, he decided who was going to do the job, and he set a date for it to be done.
             Finally, the day came for the concrete to be poure...
