Built a couple sets of exterior steps, added a handrail balusters, poured a small pad of concrete for one...tried to fix a casement window, hardware is shot, no luck. Same house (rental) I worked on yesterday...then I fixed the jamb on another rental, garage door, plow or car bumper hit it, messed it up...and then for the same landlord I repaired another garage door, patched one of the fiberglass panels. Had a couple other small repairs on another of their properties but had to wait until the renter was there...nefarious contractor and all. Measured a window on another rental...place where I'd installed two windows a month or two ago. That was about it.
Got home, unloaded some tools, this that the other. Jumped in the shower and the wife and I went out to eat at The Hut. Birthday boys (and girls) get to eat for free. The other day, I'd installed one big window for a lady who works for this guy who owns among half a dozen others, The Hut...and she told me she was the one who got John started on that eat-for-free on your birthday deal. She's from Alaska and he's up there now. Anyway, nice idea. Watered the garden when I got home, just got off the phone with a man who wants me to do his steel roof. That's three roofs now in a week. I'll do steel but tear-offs, forget it. Steel is easy peasy. Somebody always gets cut, though, almost a given, don't know you're cut until blood shows up on the metal. Still reading Hard Country, good story, and tomorrow I've got a slow day, going to rebuild my barrier wall between our house and the neighbors. Twenty-five years of snow avalanching off their roof against ours is getting too old. E-mailed our state rep and state senator two months ago. No response. Want to change the code, this is a no-brainer, as there are others who are experiencing harm. Forget zoning, regs...whatever, change the code. Tons of snow falling against a neighboring property should not be allowed to happen, but there are are least four others in town I know about.
