Darwin's Ideas...refuted...."First-hand"!!!

This past weekend we began the process of a tear-off and re-shingle of our cabin roof.

First-hand I can say that that things do breakdown over time!

While I do believe that I'm wiser than I was ten years ago, I can say that my body doesn't function as a 40 year old's. This morning I awoke as a slow moving creature, with aches and pains that I never new existed!

We stripped half of the porch roof and the detatched garage's roof, and got the garage shingled. Yet to do, is the greater part of the job.

This coming weekend we'll continue with the cabin roof. The shingling of the garage roof was a good place to start, as it provided a good practice area prior to tackling the larger portion of the project.

While we didn't have the best of weather...we had light rain on and off, we got it done!
I'm nearly at the point of praying for more weather of the same for this coming weekend. I don't think my body can physically survive a 3-4 day stretch of clear weather!

We will try to call in additional laborers for this coming weekend.

Jason, Dale & I made good progress...but to complete this job we will need additional support.

With Love,

Tired & Sore GrandDad!
