2022 Frozen Tundra Farm Report

<< < (39/47) > >>

Hopalong:
Ooo, dark green metal roof sounds gorgeous.
I can see it.
And rain on it will sound wonderful!

Did I understand right that after going home for a month, B comes back with a next-to-last load to the mountain, then goes back one more time in January to return with his really-final load? As in, B sez: "I live here now." ??

Hope that means his house sold and all is moving in the right direction.

Sounds like things are moving well for Hol too unless she's begun to hate the job as well as be tired out from it. I imagine TV production is very high intensity. Is S in the same biz?

Do I ask too many nosy questions? LOL.

hugs and enjoy your break (doom scrolling is ballooning here, good lord it's awful).

Hops

sKePTiKal:
We're trying to pull that together that way Hops. And this trip isn't "going home" to his state - it's to collect all his stuff to COME HOME. Lots of things aren't exactly working right or copascetically. So yeah -- maybe 2 more trips; maybe 3, it just depends on 9 million variables ya know?  :rolleyes:

The house is sold - kinda. It's a private deal and that can be iffy. But his granddaughter is a realtor and developers are working in his area so he's not terribly worried about getting it sold.

Roof is about half done; this morning he said he'll probably finish early next week. They aren't going to work here Friday. They're working on the really complicated side of the house now, with a porch & two gables. Takes longer to cut all those angles for the valleys in the roof.

I'll know more about where Hol is with working in this industry next week. Ambivalence is kinda giving way to absolute decisions about what she wants and what she won't do. It's definitely been hard on her that S has worked every day but weekends the whole past month. But that's also clearing her head a lot too. So it's a wait & see still. For someone who's absolutely social -- she was so HAPPY to get home to peace & quiet. She doesn't have a lot of good to say about the Gen Z "kids" trying to work in the industry, being the last generation to grow up with electronic devices.  LOLOLOLOLOL.

sKePTiKal:
Well, B just left this morning. He'll be back in a month. He's driving right into the storm, which should be making landfall near his house in a couple of hours or so. He has an offer to stay with a friend in NC tonight, but knowing him he'll drive straight thru until he can't. It won't be his first time - he drove home in Hugo from a base in CT.

We're supposed to get a couple inches of rain from the same storm tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. So I was delighted that the roof was finished today. Looks much better with a metal roof than those old rotten shingles. Shouldn't need replaced in my lifetime (the remainder anyway).

SIGH. I really didn't want him to go and he drug his feet almost all morning. So he got a late start and because this truck is governed to 55 mph it's going to take him till tomorrow morning to get home (especially if he pulls off to sleep). But it is what it is. We're staying in constant touch. I need to text him friend's phone number.

And now... for some absolute slug-time! Been an extremely busy week.

lighter:
Ahhhh, Amber.  Driving so long, sleeping in a truck.... pushing himself when B's still healing and his body could really use special care and kindness.....
makes me uneasy just to read about it.

I hope he makes it safely. 

We had winds and cold rain last night.  It's sunny and calm today... not so cold, but chilly.

How are you guys doing?

I bet Hops had some weather too.

Lighter

sKePTiKal:
It's still raining here Sunday morning Lighter. Highs have only been in the 50s. I'm doing OK Lighter - I still enjoy my alone time a LOT.

B made it home last night and I didn't hear from him again after he unloaded the truck, so I HOPE he ate that pizza and went to sleep. He hasn't been there since June and there are a few things that are making his life difficult about now. I'll try to touch base with him in a bit. He mighta thrown his phone in the river, 'coz he kept getting calls fom people who wanted him to fix their generator. For free of course. :rolleyes:  He closed his business because people felt entitled to free work from him.

He's going to be a closely guarded secret after getting completely moved in! I don't like to share.  :D
