The weather has been most uncooperative but I think my new roof will be done, today [View all]

The thing about installing a metal roof - they get SLIPPERY when it snows. It's been pretty cold, too, so this project has taken longer than I anticipated, but it's not like it's been an inconvenience - just a little noisy. The safety of the workers is my primary concern. And Sophie Stinky Toes seems to recover quickly, when she comes out of hiding, after the workers leave. The extra treats and scritches probably help.

And I love my new windows and doors! I do believe the benefits will be well worth the expense.

Next project - painting, ripping out carpet and refinishing/staining/sealing the wood floors. I might end up loving this place so much, I'll stay for as long as I can take care of it, myself.
