Monday started early with the arrivel of the roofing crew. They will spend this week stripping off the old roof and putting a new roof on the house. They will also replace all of the side boards that have dry rotted and give us new gutters also. The roofers helped me to haul up the sink for the wash room. Our carpenter crew arrived. John Jolivette, Jr. told me that he did not believe our fancy sink would fit correctly. He agreed to install it but was not sure that the bottom drawer that Elena loves would deploy properly. There were all sorts of noises and commotion on the roof. Copernicus went mad with all of the noise. Wired WOrks arrived next. Dave and Neil went to work on doing all of the electrical work. THe new room was full of people working. I was constantly cleaning all of the debris that found its way into the house. It was a day full of hard work. Our plumbing team from Alansi's Plumbing and rooter arrived in the late afternoon and worked until well past seven. Elena got to meet them and see al of the detail work they were doing.
This is a huge investment in time and money. I am exhausted every day. We did get the good news from CBS News that the housing market in our area is one of the few hot ones in the USA and getting as good as it was in 2006. We might recover our investment yet. This may not turn out to be "Elena's Folly!"
