Absolute Power

Finally got all the ducks in order to get the underground power installed. I dug 4 ft down and the dirt was like dust...like dust until I cut through the water line for Clayton's house. Nothing a trip to David Millers couldn't fix. I had to trench 150 feet from the main power pole to the house lucky for me the John Deere was available otherwise I would average about 3 feet per day due to all the rocks. Blue Ridge brought the power line the next day so I should be able to cover it up tomorrow and get the ball rolling to get the lines moved off the house. I couldn't update this blog without a tribute photo of the best dogs in the world hanging out while dad is working.

2 Hot Days

The weather finally cooperated with us on our major task of roofing. It was almost to nice. Lots of sunshine and later in the days lots of heat. We have a nice new roof and some sunburn to show for the effort. Mike came and helped on Friday and Saturday as well as Mom and Wade for a couple of hours on Saturday. We could not have finished it without the help of everybody. Hopefully we are going to lay the chimney this week so the roof can be patched in around it and totally finished.
