I Like Hanes

7:00am
Today I got started pretty early. I dropped Todd and Alec off at school and then drove straight to the Myrtle House. Mark said he would meet me at 9am to start work, so I decided to make a quick trip to the dump. Have I told you how much I love going to the dump aka landfill? The trailer was filled up and ready to go. The landfill opened at 7:30. I got there about 8:00. Mark texted me just as I chucked the last board off the trailer. He was just letting me know he was on schedule and wanted to know if I was too.

9:00am
Mark jumped right into it. He had no hesitation about getting up on the roof. Unlike myself who was more cautious he began pushin' and pullin' on the rafters to get a feel for how sturdy they were. I didn't have a problem with the pushin' and pullin', I got a little nervous cause he was doing it while standing on them. After about the 4th time of tugging on the rafters I told him I like Hanes. He gave me a funny look. I explained to him if he keeps it up I'm going to need some new undies for Christmas! If you've read my previous posts you'll know how much I'm NOT enjoying taking the roof off.

11:30am
Mark had to leave for his real job. We actually got a lot done in 2 1/2 hours. We didn't get the entire roof off, but we got it to the point that I can handle the rest of it by myself. I spent the rest of the day taking off a little more of the roof and filling up the trailer with blue myrtle debris.

3:00pm
Alec called needing a ride home from school. I told him he was going to have to walk cause I was not at a good stopping point. I told him I'd be done in about 45 minutes.

One of the neighbors stopped by. Ryan from down the street introduced himself. He told me he was an electrician by trade and offered his services. I told him I probably wouldn't be needing any electrical work til spring. He said he'd bring one of his biz cards back and asked if I'd keep him in mind.
