This morning after I ran with my dog and had some coffee, I decided the pollen and leaves must be removed ...again. Spring is the season leaves and pollen have to be dealt with. I'm convinced its the gods laughing at Floridians evening out the weather chores between the North and the Deep South. An unkempt yard can ruin the best moments of a backyard BBQ lingering over a cold drink in the hammock. Right after chore-con I intend to do just that.
I'm happy with the new roof and the work was completed in 2 days. My back yard looks like a back yard again instead of the workbench with saws and cords. My dog is very happy to have her play area to romp in. Coda wandered the house with complete insouciance to the noise from the past 2 days.
The sawdust is flying and it's never a dull moment around Casa Lauren's. It's rather exciting as the improvements move along. For instance, I had a light come on in my hallway from all the hammering I'd not had use of lately. In addition, a light bulb from a track light fell down on the counter and busted. So far, I have this ability to filter out a lot of noise which must come from years of working in an office environment. Though, while I was on a conference call the echo of hammers resonated through the phone lines, or so I was told.
At 7am this morning the crew ascended on my roof. Yesterday I had the fun finalizing the shingle color and driving around assessing the neighborhood choices. I had put so much thought into how to select the roofer and what goes in the construction that the color was the last thing on my mind. I mean, I'd like the most water repellent color choice. Is there an app for that? The fun was decided at 6pm after a grueling 4 hours of design to consider. I'm excited.
My dog was upset at the noise last night so I knew something was up. Last night I spent most of the hours walking around the family room looking for leaks. I'll let you know that before I made it to the light switch I squished my way into the room. The roof leaked in the past and I had gotten estimates over a couple days ago. We planned to have a new one placed on as soon as possible. Then last night Niagara Falls fell on the little house.
