Well we arrived out here this afternoon while mother nature was dumping barrels of water on our heads. instead of pulling straight in under the carport so we could get out of the truck in the dry I opted to back the little trailer under it instead since I have 20 sheets of roof decking on it that is not very well wrapped to protect it from such an onslaught. Driving down the road at 60 MPH most of the water would be blown off but I figured just sitting overnight wouldn't do it any good so we got soaked instead. Heck we both probably needed a shower anyway LOL.
the truck won't arrive until after midnight because Bob had to visit his dad in the hospital first. Just as well we couldn't have unloaded it this evening anyway.
As much as I really need to be back in Ft. Worth to build up another load I want to get the roof torn off the mud room and replaced with sheet metal. the rest of the house has a steel roof but the 12 by 20 addition on the back of the house has a stupidly flat roof with asphalt shingles (WHAT WERE THEY THINKING) anyway I have to create some amount of slope and repair it Hope to get started on it Saturday morning since it is supposed to dump a few buckets full or rain tomorrow afternoon again.
I also want to jerk the wood stove out of the living room and temporarily seal up the chimney hole until I can replace the rusted out triple pipe and sandblast then paint the old stove with KBS high temp paint. So we are probably looking at Wednesday night before returning to FT Worth
Dang why couldn't my kids have given me half a dozen grand sons who would be willing to learn some things LOL
