Why Didn't I Take Up Knitting...

Today's plan is to start moving these heavy ass tiles up to the roof.  I found  these on Craigslist- heck of a deal!  Right now, they're supporting my rose fetish, but I have a plan for moving those onto the

trailer by the old pool.  Until someone needs to use the trailer.

Since I'm working alone, I'll have to do it the hard way, as usual.  Put as many as I can push in my trusty wheelbarrow, stack a small pile on the short scaffold, climb scaffold and transfer to the higher scaffold, climb that scaffold then move them onto the roof.  Rinse and repeat.  Sounds simple enough,

huh?  Makes plastering seem like a picnic.

I've gotten all my windows and doors from Craigslist.  Got 12 arched windows, patio doors, a greenhouse window and a gorgeous leaded glass door- for $200!  And I just picked up 6 brand new Pella windows ( the kind that fold in to clean)- for $200!  Those are for the back porch.  I originally

planned on a screened porch, but decided to use windows because a) I want to be able to block the north winds in the winter so I can still use the porch, and b) to keep the dogs from scratching the screens. 

Even if it was Lips who opened the door and came in the kitchen.

Ever try to turn a horse around in your kitchen at 2 a.m.?  Never a dull moment around here!

I have no idea why this post keeps changing its alignment or why the preview is in French.
