Day 5

Shingles Shingles everywhere...

I spent the entire day tkaing off shingles and felt paper from the roof. The goal was to get down to the actual boards. You will see from the above picture the work that I have done. My father spent most of the day finishing taking down a brick wall.

The boys missed their flight by eight minutes. Nate's exact words were, " we were standing there in line to get our bags checked and they cut us off like a bad habit." So instead of arriving at 2:00 they will come in at 10:15. So eight minutes costs 8 hours. This is all okay though because we really just lost a couple hours of actual work time.

Tommorow the real fun will begin as they survey and start rebuilding.

We also went to the Home Depot. This reminded me of a satire that I wrote in my head once entitled Homer Depot and Walma Mart. This story is about a man and a woman named Homer and Walma. It was inspired by the lived of mu uncle Joey and my aunt Nikki.

Anyways, the home depot was a complete zoo. So many people want to build and it took as the enitre morning plus three trips through the checker to get everything we needed. Some $800+ and many hours later we left with the supplies we needed to get started on the project.

Another interesting tidbit is that Wendey's is offering a $6000 sign on bonus to work for them. That's a lot of 1/4 pounders and frosty's folks. No one seems to be able to get people to work and businesses are getting desperate.
