Day 6 -- The really hot roofers in cowboy hats offer me the use of their truck

First of all, I would like to apologize for being so neglectful… I have no excuse.

Secondly, let’s talk about Thursday.

I started off the day like every other this week with cleaning up the lawn.  We had filled up the wheelbarrow the night before so before Joey went to his new job we emptied it.  Then I proceeded to fill up four more loads and haul them to the dumpster which is (without a wheelbarrow) about a minute walk.  Yeah well, my wheelbarrow has a flat tire and I do not have a pump for it (hint hint Santa).  Have you ever pulled what felt like a ton of lead down the street?  I have and it sucks!! My neighbor next to me comes by to tell me about this program the USDA has to loan money out for low income families to fix up their homes and as he was walking away I asked him if he has a pump – that god he did.  I did one more load until it happened.  Said neighbor was getting a new roof, one of the roofers yelled down at me and said “I can’t watch this for one more second; please let me back my pick up in your yard, fill it up, and we can drive it over and empty it.  OH LORDY LORDY ME THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Within a half hour I filled it up and made a massive dent in the remainder of the yard.  The great thing is, they didn’t want any money.  They liked some of the stuff I was throwing away and I told them to consider that payment, they happily agreed.  Now all that is left is the back and one side of the shed… oh yeah and the furniture and tires (I think they are 16s and are slightly used if anyone is interested) I found by the shed.  My parents came by and picked up some lawn chairs and a slide to deliver to my Nana’s house but the rest remains.  Going to drop them off at the dump next time my dad comes by

I was sore and beyond exhausted by 1pm so I stopped and became a vegetable for the rest of the day. 

I was such a long day but I got so much done (thanks to the amazing roofers across the way).

 

*I really thought that I got pictures of the outside of the shed but I guess I didn't... sorry*
