Helping Hands

We had a couple of rain days this past week, and some major headaches concerning rented scaffolding, ( when I cool down I will tell that story) but Willie and I still did manage to get a considerable amount of framing done. The view from up on the roof is mesmerizing and that seems to slow me down abit.

Ron spent the day here Saturday and we picked away at some more of the roof framing. I would say we have a few hours of work to do and then we can move on to laying down the sheathing and roofing shingles.

They are going to pour the new basement floor today or tomorrow and Chris Knight From CW Knight Heating, stopped out Saturday to plan out the instillation of the oil tank.

Willie and his son Bill came out Sunday and saved the day. Bill borrowed a concrete saw from his Uncle John, and Willie and Bill cut down the openings so that the floor can be pored over the openings for a smooth transition. Willie also helped me dig a number of 4' deep holes for the front porch supports. I think we have have dug the equivalent of a 72 foot deep hole.
Without the help of family like Willie and Bill, and freinds like Ron, I think they would be burying me in one of the 4 foot holes.



Willie and myself worked during the week on the roof framing, and Saturday Ron and I Worked at framing out the Chimney. We only have a very little to do before we start with the sheathing and then the roof shingles.


Starting to take shape. We need to finish the roof this week. I am tired of working on the roof and want to move on to the next phase.
I keep thinking that this would be a great place for a "Widow's Watch", but I don't want to give Jeanne any ideas.


Somehow we manged the strength to walk around the neighborhood in the dark and cold Trick or Treating. I offered to buy he kids 25lbs of candy to stay home, but that did not go over well.
