Today, November 17, it snowed. Not much, but it did snow. And the windows go in tomorrow. Better tomorrow than next month, I suppose, but still. It's cold out there. I've taken to bringing my helper back to my house for a lunch of hot chili and corn bread. Can't have the poor guy frozen halfway through the day...Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-20380083725648339272008-11-17T13:48:00.000-05:002008-11-17T13:48:00.000-05:00sounds like you've been getting the full range of ...sounds like you've been getting the full range of experience w/ contractors and suppliers. a good friend of mine redid his siding and had a really good experience with<A HREF="http://michiganprestain.com" REL="nofollow"> michigan prestain</A>. did you plan to do this job in november?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-3121171238596933252008-10-23T08:22:00.000-04:002008-10-23T08:22:00.000-04:00wish I could build stuff!!

I have to replace my roof soon also. I started stripping it the other day. I have to take metal off, wood runners, and two layers of shingles before I can even get to the sheathing. I'll probably still be at it in December. <BR/><BR/>I'm trying to envision your drip edge problem but not seeing it. Oh well, sounds like you resolved it. One question though. Why not bitch-a-thane the whole roof?<BR/><BR/>5" wide Hickory floor boards? Nice. For some reason I have always enjoyed laying floors. Hate it when I am doing it, but what a rush seeing them when they are done. Especially when using some of the more odd woods.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.com
