I get tired just reading your emails Snag. It's been a long time
since I built anything but the raised beds in the backyard.

We've gone two days without rain but the forecast says more tomorrow
and the rest of the week. I hope it's not another deluge.


It's probably not going to happen but I hope the rain here holds off for a
few more days . If I can get the trusses up and set and get the roof decking
on I'll be a happy camper . The last rain we got was like an inch in under
an hour , had water coming into the living room thru the opening I made in
the SW wall - most of that wall comes out , she likes "open concept" .

Mine likes a lot of space so she can "store" (read that as "hoard") all
of her stuff. There's not an empty space in the house except in the
bathrooms and I had to insist on not storing things in those spaces. I
figure once I'm gone the children will find her crushed under her hoard
one day. I still love her, come December, if I make it, we will be
married 56 years and we dated two years before the marriage. We're
really used to each other.
