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…
