greenstormIt's April and snowing.
The roof is scheduled to be replaced this Friday (/SaturdaySunday/Monday and maybe Tuesday). I'm awfully curious to see what is under it. The colour will either be Boreal Green or, in this era of covid shortages, Twilight Grey if that's not available in time (they're all listed as in stock). I suspect the house will be quite a bit warmer after the re-roof, because it'll have an extra layer of plywood over the shiplap-insulation-shiplap sandwich that is the gothic arch roof/wall right now. The installer will warranty it for 5 years, and it's supposed to last 30-- this in contrast to the current roof, which was put in 7 or 8 years ago and started falling off after only 4 years.
They'll approach the roof with scaffolding. It's effectively 3 stories and never less than 50 degrees or so from horizontal and rarely that, so it's not much for standing on. I'm very interested to see this.
Back to the office for work tomorrow, I had a massage appointment but I just put my summer tires on and don't want to do the hour round trip in slippery freeze-thawing slush so I bumped it down the road. So it'll just be back to the office, no masks required, faces and noise and everyone coming into my cubicle to say hi all day. I have some videos lined up I need to watch (silviculture manual updates etc) so at least I can do headphones.
I didn't clean my chimney when Tucker was here so I don't feel super confident in lighting a fire right now. Electric heat it is.
On the flip side: gardening forums, landscape sharing, poetry, planting tomatoes, friends.
