Wealth and fame she's ignored.

BN: Someone posted a Google review about the Mister's Computer Super Genius home business stating that we had two large unfixed dogs that repeatedly terrorized the neighborhood, that our household included avid patrons of local drug houses, and that we shouldn't be trusted with anyone's home or business. Thanks to Google's approximate street numbering, I think they were confusing us with the house next door. (May she RIP) At least they had the courtesy to concede that they had never actually done business with him.

GN: The review has been taken down! Yay!

GN: I can haz solar! When the sun shines, the electric meter she do run backwards-eth. I'm SO excited!

( Do these solar panels make my garage look phat? )

And I even took pictures. Plus my garden in August. I've failed to take pics at the beginning of Sept. and Oct. Ah well.

The Mister and I started the project at 11 a.m. Sunday and over the next eight hours, I can safely say that we had all of the fun that removing five layers of roofing material can offer to a couple in love. Well, not quite. "Wouldn't it be fun if there were an earthquake while we were up here?" The Mister said. Five layers! Rolled roofing is much lighter than shingles as it turns out, so five layers is more quirky than crazy dangerous. The Mister was skeptical about using the tenant's truck, but it worked out well on a number of counts. Not least that it is still full of the old roofing material today, and tenant is just fine with it and encouraged us to wait until the next weekend. It's safe to say that none of the other pick-up having folks we could have petitioned would be so sanguine. We had all the best intentions, but the job was bigger than expected. The tenant was very helpful, not least by not offering to get up on the roof, and I provided him with entertainment. I couldn't figure out what the menfolk were grinning about when I inched up to the edge and tossed over an armload of old roof. Doesn't everyone stay at least four feet back? By the end of the job I was much more confident, and I had all the satisfaction of being useful to the point of being essential. I did nearly half the job and as it was, the Mister just got the new roofing felt in place before the first rain storm of Autumn began in earnest.
