Lot 3, Day 3+
So I haven’t been keeping up with the progress reports but I have a final installment on the Lot 3 project.
Day 3 and 4 were extremely HOT. On Day 4 we set a record at 94 degrees. So we lost a few pounds during the project. The remainder of the work went well without a problem. The front was very easy since there were no obstacles in the way. We had the rear stripped and the Ice Shield installed on Day 3. And by the end of Day 4 we had the majority of the rear shingled and all of the vent pipes sealed up. This left the cap and some trim areas for Day 5.
During the hot days we took several hours for lunch to let the sun pass overhead and cool off a little before getting on the roof. So we enjoyed a few lunches at the Fargo during this time. And then on Day 5 we finally finished early enough to go to dinner. We had a very nice dinner on the back porch at Pumpkin Hill and watched the storms cross the lake. It was a nice way to finish up the week.
Then on Sunday, we wanted to be through so we tested the roof for leaks. Overnight Saturday and all day Sunday it rained steadily. We were forecasted to have over an inch of rain. And the roof held up for 24 hours. And since that was the length of the labor guarantee we decided that we were done with the project.
So we are now back in South Wales and we are planning to spend some time helping the parents pack up and get ready for the impending move south the Tennessee. This week we have a nice little repelling drill to run in Emery Park with the Fire Company. And we have about another two and a half weeks before we jump on a plane (Ok, 6 different planes) and head to the Ice.

Still using the term 'we' and Paula still doing the work? Whose parents are going to TN? If it is to the house you have been working on it is great looking. Trees and greenery, etc. We still have the trees but the greenery is lacking.
