First the good news: the north wall of the barn
is completely shingled. Now for the “other”
(not fake) news: I cleverly cut the wrong end off all those 10⅝″ long
shingles yesterday and the NicoDerm CQ patch I put on the air compressor didn’t
work… she went back to smoking and sounding very sick (the original meaning,
not the new jargon) this afternoon. And
now the $100 (literally) Murphy’s Law question: when will the air compressor
finally die? Will it survive until the
west (and final) wall is shingled? Stay
tuned…
