I walked down a hill and then up a hill and into town this morning and had a nice walk around town. I passed by our new house and imagined living there. : )
Ken picked me up in town and when we were back in the trailer he surprised me with these pastries and muffins for my birthday and a beautiful card that made me cry. We ate the pastries for breakfast and will eat the muffins for breakfast tomorrow.
We made good progress on the shed but didn't get as much done as we thought but we always do that. Things always take longer then we think.
I had the job of putting these metal fasteners on all the trusses. Tomorrow I will do the other side of the roof.
Here is Ken working on the roof.
We are doing a different kind of roof this time. Instead of having to put up plywood, tar paper and then singles, we are putting up a metal roof. 2 x 4's which are 16 feet (length of shed) are put front to back and then large metal panels are screwed into them with self tapping screws. This type of roof goes up much faster and is easier.
In this picture two of the panels are up and that is where work ended for the day.
We had another nice sunny day but a bit warmer with temperatures in the 80's. Supposed to be another nice day tomorrow and we hope to finish the roof by the end of the day so we can put our stuff under cover.
Here's an update on the birds nest on the tractor tire.
I checked on it when I got back from my walk and one of the birds had just hatched and the second one was just starting.
A few hours later there were two.
I haven't checked since because I didn't want to disturb her again. I'm sure the third one as hatched and tomorrow I'll take another look.
So that's it for today.
Sorry I haven't been around to visit but just don't have enough time. I'll catch up when I'm back home.
A very happy day do you.
Happyone : )
