Was supposed to rain all day, so headed into Goodro Lumber this morning to see how much money I could spend on lumber, mortar mix, screening, and Home Slicker. Found out, the hard way, that you can’t put a 12′ long 1 x 4 into the 11′ 11¾″ length of the Sienna. Made sure Chree had a LARGE Scotch in her hand when I called her with the news about the broken windshield. Not cracked, B-R-O-K-E-N!!!! Sun came out this noon and it turned into a beautiful day, so started putting cedar shingles on the north wall of the shed. The new toy I got for Christmas (Porter Cable N150A pneumatic narrow crown stapler) worked like a dream! Not sure I like the color of the Cabot New Cedar stain and sealer, but hopefully that will protect the shingles and allow them to turn gray poste haste.
