Sometimes things come together

I'm getting burned out on some levels. I sometimes feel myself wanting to leave the house after completing only the most mandatory tasks to keep things ahead of the trades. But every once in a while I get a strong surge, often brought on by Andreas pushing me to stay later and work harder.

We have come to the conclusion that it's always harder to work on your own house, and easier to push hard on someone elses.

Anyhow Wednesday night I was sizing up the work for the 3 day weekend. It looked like it was going to be a slow weekend. Possibly just working on some soffits and details by myself.

Thursday night I got a text message from a friend offering help, then a friend stopped by mentioning he could come out, Friday morning Andreas said he could come out with a friend. I knew I had a shingle crew. I got on the horn with the shingle store at 9am and had shingles on my roof by 2.

My egar crew pounded out the hardest 40% of the roof today. Way beyond my expectations. 25% would of made me happy.

Props and love to Jodi, Andreas, Josh, Joe and newcomer Sheri!






Should be able to knock out the rest within a week.
