Despite being one of the best summer’s ever for working outside on my house, as with every year, I find myself racing to finish up all the projects I started during the summer before the fall rain sets in. I’ve been spending all my final dry days finishing up as much painting as I can, but after hearing it was going to thunderstorm on Sunday I decided to finish putting a new roof on my garage on Saturday. I worked hard on it all day but I still had a few hours worth of work to do by nightfall so I took out the spotlights (something I have a bit of a reputation for) and kept up the hammering until I was finished around 10:00.
Neighbors stopped by and handed up roofing shingles and the weather couldn’t have been better – it was still in the upper 60’s when I finished at 10:00. You can’t beat Buffalo summers (especially those that keep going right into fall). In the dead of this winter I’m going to look up at this roof and remember the nice warm November night I built it.
Anyone else stealing time on their summer projects?

ps – where are the gorilla roofers when you need them?
