I went over to the house on
Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to see the framing crew working. They had
been waiting for the skylights for the room over the garage to come in before
finishing the roof. The shipment arrived on Thursday and they were now tackling
the installation and wrapping up the roof.
It was a hot and muggy day again
and I’d take a break every now and then from what I was working on and watch
these guys work. They were absolute professionals and kept the work moving even
on what had to be a very hot roof.
By the end of the day, the roof
was now complete and the skylights installed. This is great news because this
means that I’ll no longer have rain coming in and finding its way to the
basement where I still have a large puddle from the last rain storm. Now it can
finally start drying out.
And begin week three of the weed whacker still in the box. Man am I going to be in trouble.
Enjoy your week.
