Just realized how a hot meal on site can transform a siding crew's momentum
Last month, my crew was tackling a cedar shake replacement on a lake house way out in the sticks. By day two, the closest diner was a thirty-minute drive, and morale was dipping with every hunger pang. I dug out my old camp stove from the truck and whipped up a big batch of breakfast burritos right there in the driveway. The smell alone perked everyone up, and we smashed through the south wall before lunch. It got me thinking about how we manage energy on extended, physical days like that. Sure, we obsess over our nail guns and levels, but neglecting fuel is a sure way to invite errors. Now I always pack some simple, hearty recipes that can be cooked on site. What's your team's strategy for keeping fed and focused when you're miles from a decent sandwich?
