Good morning!!!!

Good Morning! 48° @ 6:30AM. Occasional rain. High around 50F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. Thursday Night rain likely. Low 47F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected.

Is it weather-speak when the forecast says "rain likely" and then in the same forecast says "Chance of rain 100%"? Perhaps that's because in weather forecasting there is not much certainty? :laughing:

The degree symbol has been option-shift-8 for as long as I can remember on Macintosh computers. One of the few things that still works the same after all these years.

If I was givin' away firewood, it would be the new stuff, not the seasoned, ready to burn stuff.

First time I've ever seen Home Depot prices undercutting Amazon, Don. Almost a hundred bux cheaper at HD for that thermal imager.

Radiator fan shroud done, though it involved painting in the dark again...

Off to the mechanic's today to see if it fits, and also work on the poptop tent and latch. I'm told getting the cloth stretched without wrinkles can be something of a wrestling match.:confused2:

23°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 46° today. Rain forecast for the weekend has now been pushed off to Monday/Tuesday. This is a good thing.

The back porch was gone when I got home last night. Moving along.

I also noticed yesterday morning why the neighbor has been leveling a large section of ground in front of his old barn; lumber sticking up now indicates he's building a substantially larger new one for his five horses. He was using a rented or borrowed Bobcat SS to do the ground work. Shortly after we got the new LS last fall, he caught me one day clearing along the fence line and stopped to chat. He wanted to talk about the tractor, and was giving it a good eyeballing. All he has since moving in there is a 4-seat utility vehicle and a zero-turn mower. I won't be at all surprised to see him with a tractor soon as well.

Apparently the cats ate the mole, but I saw the cat's shadow, 6 more weeks of winter!
Not as cold this morning, still mostly gray and dreary, been cloudy for 21 0f 25 days now. Reminds me of Desperado, "The sky won't snaow and the sun won't shine..."

62°F and no rain.

Started disassembly of current solar array yesterday. A bit more challenging than anticipated. Likely gonna take a bit longer than I thought. Goal is to finish disassembly of this section today and start rebuild.

Be safe
Have a great day

Hard to tell the night time, from the day..

You're losin all your highs and lows


Great tune. Cold here, 16F. Been about that all day, we did get some sun, but it seems to cloud over again. I put a new shower rod in the downstairs bath. We rarely use it, but I am remodeling the master bath upstairs, so I need to get this done. I used a hammer drill and a masonary bit to get thru the tile. No parts left over, it works, and nobody got hurt!! :)

Be safe guys!

I find HD a little cheaper than Lowes, but Menards beats them both. Incredible stores, they make the others look like hobby shops.

I guess the existing roof would be a good barrier as long as you don't put any nails in it. Is this the same guy that did not want insulation next to the metal because it causes rust - but the existing roof will not? Will the additional weight of the metal roof cause any sagging problems? does he have any references for putting metal over an existing roof that you can view? I really don't have any answers just questions.

The existing roof won't be touching it, it will be on top of a lattice work of 1x4's Even the valleys will have 1x4's in them.. The weight of a 26 gage R panel roof is so little, it is not a factor.


Here is the order of it from top to bottom:

R panel metal
1x4
synthetic underlayment
old roof
