Roof Tops and Supply Lines

Featured image

Spider Man (aka Jack)) is healing!  His toe looks so much healthier than a week ago and he is wearing shoes again!  He has completed the drain lines for the plumbing (small celebration!!!) and is on to plumbing for the water supply side. Pictured is one of two manifolds Jack built while we were still living in New Hill, NC.  I had them stored and I love it when it is time to retrieve things.  Carefully, I dug behind the trailer not to disturb any critters that may be lounging around (I am really creeped-out now -even though we don’t know where the bite occurred).  He mounted the first manifold it and has run a line to the first half bath downstairs.

  Yesterday the roofing crew (10 of them) arrived and roofed the porches in less than 2 hours.  It is amazing to watch their energy and enthusiasm!  Below is a short video of the rapid paced (Reliant Roofing) crew. Following are 2 photos showing the front and back green porch roofs.

This week, our friends from Raleigh, David and Pat stopped in to see us and later today, Alex and Susan will come by.  We enjoyed a sunset boat ride with Tom and Nancy and so LOVE our boat owner friends! We also love having visitors.  Just give us a little notice so we can shower. The heat plays havoc on our deodorant!

After laundering them, I confiscated some of Jack’s work T-shirts.   Even after washing them, it seems they quickly take on a stankiness!! But since most of them are airplane logo shirts, I don’t want to throw them away.  Anybody have ideas for how to weave those logos together into something for the flying room?  Now if I can just get those ratty shorts he wears!

Thanks for following our journey!  You are all a part of it!
