Long, frustrating, and productive day.

This morning at 6:30 I got a call from the roofer saying that the materials and his guys were on the way. So I scrambled to get ready. A little later he called to say that just the materials were coming and that his crew would come tomorrow. So my dad and I went to meet the delivery driver and continued to work on the siding. It was a muddy mess but we were able to make great progress. We did focus on the first house since it was so much easier, and that is the house the siding is at. Mid-morning a guy came by and introduced himself. He was the husband of a woman who works at the bank, and he asked about a rock that I told her that she could have. I told him to come back at three and we would get it. We finished with the siding for the day around two, and I took the tools to the storage unit.

I spent some time organizing the job site, then Mike came for the rock. We hooked my flatbed trailer to his truck and the tractor was barely able to lift the rock onto the trailer. It did though, and I followed him to his house on Ridge Cliff. We got the rock set and then I returned to the job site. I briefly went by the cottage, then drove home via Fayetteville. There I filled up the bird feeders, grabbed a few things, ate some cherries, then started driving to the Mountain. I was in Tullahoma, almost to Chick-fil-a when I realized that I left my tractor, storage unit, and driveway chain keys at home. So after getting some fries and a milkshake I drove home, picked up the keys, and drove to the mountain on the interstate. I arrived a few minutes ago, at 11:30, and am pretty exhausted.
