I wasn’t really expecting the framers to come today since it looked like rain this morning, but they actually arrived earlier than usual. Before they came I went by the roofing supply place and ordered everything I needed for the roof. The roofers are due to arrive tomorrow. Next I went to Lowe’s to buy the last two windows I needed. I wanted French doors as well, but they didn’t have the ones I was looking for. Once the framers got situated and the roofing materials were delivered I drove down to Pulaski to buy doors. I got two French doors and a 15 panel glass door. The guy told me that they were getting in a truck this afternoon with the other three doors I needed. I drove on to the Pulaski Home Depot for another two doors that I needed. The drive back to the farm was really pretty.

I took the framers out to lunch at Burger King as a little thank you. They seemed to enjoy it, but one of them went back for a second combo meal! The rest of the afternoon was pretty quiet. I did a bit of cleaning and organizing around the site. The burn piles are getting huge and I will need to burn soon. It started storming around five, so the framers and I left. I went back to Lowe’s, because I got the wrong windows this morning. I also bought a new tape measure and some LED light bulbs for the condo. Traffic was pretty bad once I got to Cool Springs. I think there may have been a wreck. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

This evening there was a rainbow visible from our balcony. Also a vivid sunset. Cell phone pictures do neither justice.

I’m dropping a bunch of new posts on here today. About a week’s worth or so. I had quite a backlog built up. My primary computer is my Chromebook and I left the charger for it in Monteagle a couple of weekends ago. My Windows laptop has a malfunctioning clock. One one hand that has been great, since it has allowed me to extend my trial of SketchUp pro well beyond the thirty day period. The problem is that Google’s apps raise a ruckus about the error, and so I am not able to access them. In this context I just need to access Photos. I have a WordPress app on my phone, but it is kind of a pain to use. So this afternoon I reset the clock on my laptop. It was nice to catch up on my posting (I already had the posts written, just needed to add pictures). I will deal with the loss of SketchUp pro. Fortunately I am finished with it in regards to the farm house. Hopefully we are going back to Monteagle this coming weekend and I can get my charger.

The framers didn’t show again today. On Thursday they told me they weren’t coming today. Yesterday they said they were. Must have had quite the fiesta last night. Not sure if they will come Monday or not, as it’s Memorial Day. I spent a few hours cleaning up the job site. It was nice to take a load of trash to the dump. I maxed out one burn pile and started a second. Need to burn, but it has been pretty dry recently. Didn’t take any pictures. Will try to really document things on Monday. Meeting a roofer on Monday. Have already gotten two quotes but felt like they were both a bit high. We need to get serious about finding plumbing and electrical fixtures. I also need to start preparing the wood flooring and shiplap siding from the old house to use in the new one. Lots of work ahead.
