getting old ain't for the weak!
i am not someone you'd want up on rafters or a
roof for doing much. i will go up once in a while
to inspect or as we are currently tarped over part
of the top (chimney cap) i have to put the tarp
back under the straps to keep it from making too
much noise in the wind. i have to call the roofing
people this week to see what is up and when they
might be back. it would be really nice to be done
with this.
my leg is still trying to heal up from last fall.
taking a long time - just the way things are i guess
- at least my arm is ok. last time i visited the
chiropractor i mentioned my shoulder was still a
bit messed up from when i pulled it a few years ago
like it was a residual that would not move right.
he did a few things to it and it took care of it -
feels like normal - but i sure won't be shovelling
heavy clay from a hole up into a wheelbarrow any
longer. i'll do half buckets at a time instead if
i need to move any more subsoil (not expecting to
have to do that but you never know...).
good luck on getting that done. i wouldn't even
attempt it.
