For the past couple of days we’ve been smelling
something very dead… or maybe the junior person on the crew forgot to shower or
had something nasty to eat with his beer.
After much sniffing around, we determined the smell was coming from my
extendible aluminum plank, which, when flushed with water, disgorged a
disgusting mess that best guess was a former mouse. Yuck, yuck, and more yuck! And, needless to say, the smell still lingers
though the remains are gone. All three
geese here before 7 this morning and got straight to work cutting and
installing the west-side roof rafters, while I continued hurricane tying. However, the space aliens must have been at
it again last night, ‘cause mid-morning we were AGAIN out of 2x10’s, with one
rafter left to fabricate. While the guys
started cutting rafter tails and getting the sub-fascia 2x6’s ready to go,
Shlomo and I made a speed run to Goodro’s.
By quitting time all the rafters were in, properly in plane (except for
two on the south-side that need their humps removed), and all the sub-fascia
was installed except on the west-side (where the rafter level cuts are yet to
be done). Does Febreze® work
on aluminum?
