If you're not fishing the tournament for the war memorial, and you don't mind climbing on a roof, come on out to Blockade Runners on Saturday for the roof raising. Even if you don't want to climb up on a roof, I'm sure we can find something for you to do to help out.
Saturday we'll start off by prying off the old tin, saving a bit of the good stuff for the future generator shed I think. Then we'll deck the entire roof with marine plywood. Then we'll get the drip edge and shingles and everything on there. Everyone feels confident that we can get it all done in one day. I know we could probably use someone to help with chopping the tin up with a circular saw and metal cutting blade. I'll be the chief go-fer I'm sure, and I could probably use an assistant.
Sunday we'll fix any mistakes and perhaps make a run at the Ghost Camp if we still have a crew out. I'd sure like to get that whole thing done before the water gets cold. Pretty soon we'll be putting a new outer wall on the missing room and then working our way down to the corner of the kitchen. After that, the front wall gets done. Then we caulk and paint the exterior, followed by doing the interior. Anybody think I'm crazy to set a deadline for Christmas?
I know I want to have one heckuva party once it's all done. Crawfish, crabs, BBQ, etc. Only people that have worked on the place will be invited of course.
If you are interested in coming out. Please PM me or call me so I can figure how much beer to bring.
