   I am  building a deck roof this week and it did rain

let us know how it works out, been thinking the same idea next reroof.

i know how you feel, i stripped 2 layers and reshingled my house about 9 yrs ago...it almost killed me.

No renos here today, but let's see:

Up at 6:30 to be at a meeting till about 8:30. Change clothes. Roll out the Acadian, mask it all up except firewall, spray firewall. Run into the forest and shoot 3 very annoying crows.

Change clothes.

Take daughter's friend home who had come to stay the night. Also do some grocery shopping and take some cookies to Grandma.


Change clothes, peel off the masking and remask to spray the black now. Fire up the BBQ and cook the meat for lunch. Wolf down lunch and spray the black on the inner fenders and cradle.

Take out the garden tractor, remove mower, install tiller and till the garden so wife and daughter can plant. Remove tiller, put mower back on (sprain thumb in the process) and mow for 1/2 hour.

Hop on little 4 wheel drive tractor and level dirt for an hour.

Change clothes and drive the 7 miles back to the store to exchange the wrong groceries for the stuff she wanted in the first place. Normal for me when I grocery shop...

Change clothes.

Back on 4 wheel drive leveling again until supper.

Wolf down supper, back on 4 wheel drive, level dirt, remove leveler, install blade, move gravel pile. Remove blade, park tractor, push Acadian back into the garage.

Start looking for all the parts I removed last winter so that I could paint under the hood. Boxes of parts lost, of course.

That takes me up to about now. In between all this, I had to check in many times on here to see what everyone else was up to today! Just came in to make some coffee, have an apple fritter and back out to the garage. It's 11:35 now, maybe the rest of the work is done and I can do some car work!!!

Me and my soon to be wife bought our house last july and since then It's gotten out of control.It started with a little painting, refinishing some hardwood floors and repairing electrical. Then she started whatching all these DYI t.v. shows. So now i have a gutted bathroom, remove 1 1/2 walls from my kitchen and will demo the cabinatry later this week and she thinks im some kind of carpenter now. Also I'm getting married in my back yard on july19 and it has to be finished by then.
On a happier note I took my car to work two months(I work at a large autobody shop)and have been working on it there as much as possible.

I'll tell you guys where you went wrong. I have absolutely no carpentry skills, so my wife doesn't even bother to ask me. My dad was the same way...

It's too late for you to start faking now if she already knows you can do carpentry!!!

the main roof is completely strapped. valley for 2 gables and end caps to cover the strapping next. sorry not much time for picts. great weekend for working on the roof. still sore. time for bed
