Working on Memorial Day

As our morning started out, we went over to the house and started ripping and cutting out the ceiling. Boy did I get dirty. 

Jeanne worked right along of me and we got a lot of it done. But as it is Memorial Day we are invited to one of her friends home for a picnic. So I kept om working until I needed to get cleaned up. Jeanne came back an picked me up. 

She is such a beautiful woman. I am very blessed to cal her my girl friend. 

This is at Pat's house. He does this every year and always has a nice turn out. Plenty of food and real nice folks. 

This is Pat and one of his friends. I meet him but forgot his name. They entertained us with some great oldies. 

This is Pat and his mom and Mike. (a friend of Pat's)

As the time was winding down we worked pretty hard this morning and need to get back home and rest up. 

We said our good byes and were on on way. 

It really was nice to meet some of her friends and just hang out a little. 

Working on a project for my friend Jeanne.

Jeanne bought this house about 3 years ago. Thinking she would like to fix it up and move in here. But she would like cathedral ceilings. So above this ceiling here. There is two roofs. The a frame above and the flat roof you are looking at. 

This is the flat roof above the ceiling. So we need to clean up the tar and rock and then cut the ceiling out. 

The first couple days were a bear. Just trying to figure out how to get the tar roof off before I cut the boards. The reason I say this is. I just tried to cut the boards out and the saw zaw blade got filled up with tar an the blade would not cut any more. So I got some gas and put the blades in that to clean them up. That worked pretty good. But really was messy. The tar paper and stones and tar was very dirty and dusted. 

After cutting some of the boards out. I got on top of the boards and just scarped the tar paper and stone up into pieces and dropped them thru the openings. . 

I worked on this for four or five days and then Jeanne had the week-end off. So we worked together and it went well. She scraped and I cut the boards out. 

It was a messy and dirty job. But after ten to fifteen days it was all cut out. I think that is how long it took? 

But at the end it was done. Now we can get the dumpster and load it up. 

The reason we waited on the dumpster, not sure about how long it would take to get it done. 

So for three days I cleaned it all up. 

I have been very busy doing this project and others around the park too. So that is why I have not been blogging. 

So I will try to get caught up to date and see what happens. 

It really has been a blessing for me to help her out an make some money to. 

Over all it is a joy to be with her and able to help make her dreams come true. 

This is Richie's home. Had to do a repair on electirc.

A while back Roy and I put in a micro wave oven for Richie. Well in a couple of days later Richie called me and told the micro was not working any more. 

So mean while Roy left for their vacation, they (him and his wife Pat) drove up to Jersey and other parts up that way. So I guess I will be doing some work on my own. 

Well there was no power coming out of the plug. Another thing was Richie wanted the oven up a little higher too. 

So Richie and I took down the oven and I ran a new wire over to the side where and micro wave will be going. 

That is working now. 

As we rise the oven up we need to make more room for the exhaust fan. Which we did. 

This is Richie and he is very happy to works and all is well. 

Now I will need to come back and finish up the flooring, next time. 

Hey I am being blessed each and everyday. Praise HIM
