While taking Shlomo for his morning constitutional, stopped to say hello to Mike and Pikey Many, father and son neighbors who formerly were in the roofing business together.  They put the standing seam metal roof on the woodshed back in September 2011, but soon thereafter Mike retired and Pikey moved on to a comfy indoor job.  Even so, and without too much unseemly begging on my part, they agreed to go back into business when the barn needs its new metal roof.  Using the old Sunday mid-afternoon when everybody is home ploy, finally got hold of Jim Ploof directly.  He will come with his mini-excavator on Monday or Tuesday this coming week to pull the recalcitrant stump and associated boulder.
