Got new shingles and siding a while back, only asked the company for shingles - hail damage claim. The roof peeps put siding on the claim, and the insurance adjuster approved it, so it all cost me just the one deductible. Here, they gotta do everything by current code, so the house got that wrap stuf they didn't use when it wus built, new vents, and to top it all off, they did the shed roof, too, and that wus never discussed or on paper. I dint complain though...

That roof of yours sounds kinda intimidating, Weebles, I ain't fond of heights unless I'm tied to something. 12' ladder makes me nervous. Is your tv level when you watch it, or does it look like it's wobbling? I hate dizzy, never had it more'n a few minutes.

Back in high school and college,I used to install TV antennas for a TV place. Wouldn't have given my roof a second thought...but that was 45 yrs ago! Funny thng with these weebles is that I don't get rooms spinning or anything. It's just seems to be inside my head and just no balance when I'm walking. tried driving a little in the past week and not much of a problem when I'm driving..when I get out and have to walk ..another story.

I had a part time job roofing some two story apartments when I was around 21 or 22, didn't have a problem with it then. There were some things on airline jets that bothered me first, some pretty wobbly stuff way above the concrete, as much as 80'. By my 50's, and gaining weight, I really lost interest in looking down...

Think I'll play with the hack's carbs today, hadda push it to start yesterday. Ain't surprised, sat with gas in it for 3 years, lucky it starts at all. They're PE series Keihn's, pretty simple, have an enrichment valve instead of choke, like Harleys. Be nice to get some different carbs I could use a standard throttle grip and split cables on; this one has two cables going into a mickey mouse non-standard size grip.

Shovel and wheelbarrow day. And rocks. Many wheelbarrows of dirt and many trailer loads of rocks. Yep, I be tired now!
