May 29, 2025: Round And Round

It's Rick's last day of school. From his first day, we had this crotchety old guy for a bus driver. Seriously, he's like 80 something years old. However, over the year, he softened and was a very kind man. Even started ignoring the actual bus stop and came to our front door. Thanks, bus driver man.

    1. Our crew took all day. I think they weren't fully gone until nearly 6 p.m. I recall some difficulties taking the kids to school so they must have started around 8 a.m. too.

      1. My roof is really simple, which helped a lot. A friend of mine was just telling me he had his roof replaced a few years ago by a guy who hand nailed the whole thing by himself, which is nuts.

    2. I wish. I mean, ours is fairly simple. But we had fake slate tiles (some sort of cement fiberboard, with drilled holes for hanger nails), so tear-off was more difficult. And the roof has a steep pitch, including a gambrel in the front.

      Not to mention lots of rotted sheathing, plus a rotted and compromised structural ridge beam and rotted rafters, and failed skylights, all of which had to be repaired/replaced before new underlayment and shingles could be laid. Good times.
