Children In Trees
Everyone went to the apple orchard with her brother the other day and I guess that kids are growing on trees now. My brother in law picked up a granny smith kid out of this tree.
Ladies and Gentlemen......drumroll please.....
Yes it’s is true, I started a project around the house and I finished it to the end. Roofing a house is a huge task and I had a pretty easy roof to do. Nice pitch and no corner’s at all.
I want to thank my few, and I mean FEW friends that actually showed up to help me with the project – you know who you are.
Everyone else who I asked to come out and bailed……….don’t ask for free shit anymore just because you think I will give it to you. It’s a two way street and I realize now that no one can really help when the time comes.
Here are some good pics of the whole project.
I did pretty much the whole thing myself including the picture of myself when the roof was finished.
Getting ready with the tearoff. Here's the cray hole I fell through when tarping
the roof before the tearoff started.
Hafway done....... Jeremy on his way up wondering how
with the tearoff at least. he got sucked into this project.
Ready to replace some boards. Getting ready to shingle.

My boy Nick has a new blog and I told him that I would spread his poison to the world.

Captain Safety
So I am usually a pretty safe dude, since I work in a steel mill quite a bit and have to always look out for things that will kill me at anytime. This is more of a reason that I should be safe at home but it usually never translates to that right?
I am getting ready to replace my roof next weekend - should be fun - but I have a few spots that started leaking and had not fixed them yet. With the horrendus rain that came last weekend I finally decided to get up there and place a tarp over the house to keep my drywall ceiling in the garage and kitchen from getting damaged. I go the my favorite store - Home Depot - and buy a 30x50 tarp and decide that I can spread this out myself on my roof. It is pretty flat and no angles, just a ranch so I figure no problem. It is pouring rain and I am trying to figure out a chinese oragami tarp that has been folded 37 times which could never be placed back into the package without a friggin robot. Anyway, the wind is blowing and now I am soaked, by the way did I mention I am home alone with the kids in the living room? Ya right, so I am near the ridgeline of the house about 2' down and all of a sudden like Tom Hanks in the money pit I am up to my armpits and have fallen through the roof. Went through like a sack of potatos! Yup, I am an idiot.
Pull myself up, huge hole in the roof now. Lucky that I didn't go right through to the kitchen floor. Leg bleeding, my 4 1/2 year old comes out and is giggling in the driveway and I tell him to go inside.
Life is fun.
Oh, yes the hole is covered and now my roofing project has been moved up to next weekend.
Pics to follow.
