Roof Away
For the once-was Guesthouse we began putting shingles on the roof Friday August 26, 2005. That night when we went to work at the newspaper printery we found out hurricane Katrina was heading dead on. So Saturday instead of finishing up putting shingles on the roof of the guesthouse, we focused our attention toward boarding up and packing to leave town. When we got back from that stressful Monday, we found a lot of the shingles, newly placed, had blown off. So we finally, 7 months later, find ourselves able to start back up on the roof. And that is what we were doing today. Because we lost some shingles we are going to have to buy a few more bundles. We are going to have to hunt some down, shingles are going pretty high these days around here. But at least we are seeing progress!
Sunday Brian finished planing the wood for the floors for the guesthouse. We got the router bits in today that is for putting a tongue and groove in. So you know Brian is itching to start on that lol! He got them from Elitetools.net which had them listed on ebay. They were a lot cheaper than another place he found router bits, so he was quite happy with his find! I can't wait to get the flooring all finished so we can start laying it! That's why we are getting the roof finished and the siding on. Lots to do, but so little time to do it!
