Believe it or not, blogging was not the first thing that occurred to me when I went into the family room this morning and found the 13X30 space tracked from one end to the other with black cat paw prints. This means you’re not getting the “full effect” photos. The picture below is after myContinueContinue reading “I Don’t Plan to Laugh About This, Like, Ever”

Awe man, now we look ridiculous
A month or so ago hubby asks me to call around and find a roof rake. He is in charge of home maintenance purchases. I had never heard of a roof rake but hell, fuses scared me until 2008 so I’m not one to bet on. I did as requested and the first two placesContinueContinue reading “Awe man, now we look ridiculous”
The Day I Stripped… Paint

The new shingles are, interestingly enough, blackContinueContinue reading “Roofing as I Blog”

Here’s Hubby waving to the camera (note roof behind him): Here’s Candy Cat at the back door watching Hubby and Snakelady and Bethesda all outside. She may go outside when she’s too arthritic to jump over the fence. Here’s the algaeContinueContinue reading “Roof!”
What Ike Wrought in the Wee Garden
Bethesda surveys the damage after three days of Hurricane Ike’s northern rains swept through Michigan. The roof was rained on for three days, also. Know that roof we priced but planned to buy next year? Yeah, that’s going to be happening NOW. RIGHT NOW. Blogging of the event to come (but of course).
