TUESDAY- start day!   arrrghhhh... delayed.... the heat yesterday was unmerciful.  So it was a day of getting permits and lining up the crews but no hammers were working.  I do wish someone had called to tell me however- I was up at 6 anxious to get started...finally at 10 I texted Kevin to ask What's up?

It is supposed to be cooler on Thursday and perhaps it is a good thing we don't have half the house open to the outside....I even decided to turn on the air conditioning when the heat and humidity got to us and we said ENOUGH!  It probably wouldn't function all that well with a wall of plastic.  I know once they take the walls down we will have several weeks before we get enclosed again so all for the best.  George is having concerns already about living in the country with the house open- lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

I'm thinking of using the screen doors that previously created my screen porch and putting them on the gardening shed for the south side wall.  The sliding door we hung as a temporary door twenty years ago is failing (wonder why? hmmmm) and the plastic tarp I nailed in place several winters back is in rags.  I like to re-purpose things instead of throwing them in the landfill so will put my brain to thinking of how to use the screen doors (I have eight) and create a great new look.  I should have plenty of scrap treated lumber once the porch decking is removed to build frames and support members so all good....and will need something productive to do when everything is torn apart and I'm not allowed to pick up a hammer!  Soon..... soon...
