I woke up a little before five this morning and left the house just after six. I got gas for the generator and then went to the job site, thinking that surely I would beat the roofers there. I was wrong. They were just starting to set up. One had found a way to maneuver his truck through the woods and up next to the house. They quickly started working. I moved some of the shingles to the second house, then went to Piggly Wiggly, then on to the cottage. I tried hard to take a little nap, but couldn’t. So I returned to the job site and cleaned a bit and then went to the Manchester Home Depot for some more shingles. I was glad to be in Liz’s car, so I could really zip down and back. I mostly hung around the houses until the guys finished at about 7:45 this evening. That was about a thirteen and a half hour day. I returned to the cottage, showered, and drove down to the Home Depot in Winchester to pick up my online orders. Everything barely fit in the car. I stopped at Food City on the way back to the cottage. Now I am washing clothes and preparing to drive to Michigan tomorrow.
