This week's project

Now that Austin's back we have put him to good use.

Our little homemade shed has been suffering from a leaky roof. It was time, now that we had two manly men and one tough girl, to do the job.

Of course, emptying the entire thing out was the first order of business. How did we ever get so much in there in the first place? And why do we still need it?

Whenever you have a job to do, and time is at a premium, it is important to know what kind of time you need to complete it. Then you multiply that number by 10 and that is about how long it takes.

I thought this job would take an afternoon. Four days later it was done. Well, mostly done. There are still a few items on the lawn.

Family bonding really occurs when the skies open up with torrential rainfall as you are putting the tar paper on the roof.
