Gonna be hot and humid up here. National forecast shows clear today and tomorrow, but that just means sun and humidity. Yesterday was sunny in Houston but I’m pretty sure we stayed under 100F at my house. W said she hit a little rain on the way up, but only sprinkles. Localized weather is always a crapshoot in this part of the world.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was mostly spent doing office stuff, but then I spent more than an hour and several hundred dollars at Lowes buying trim and flashing, and stuff I think I’ll need up here. Didn’t make it to the chiropractor, and I’m hoping I don’t end up regretting that.<\/p>\n
Because today is going to involve some work. Mowing the grass will happen Sunday afternoon, but working on the window and roof repairs will be a priority. I hope to be dried in, ie. weathertight, by the end of today. That will still leave the finished roof, and exterior wall finishes (since we don’t have the stuff, or even a plan,) but as long as the housewrap is on and the flashing is done, it’ll keep the rain out.<\/p>\n
I’m going to need professional help, or at least advice, on the metal roof repair. And someone, **cough**, will have to decide what to do about the little bit of exterior wall that needs covering…<\/p>\n
The list is long, the spirit is mostly willing, but the arms are weak…<\/p>\n
Stack. It’s easier than working.<\/p>\n
