It's been raining here in the Northeast since noon yesterday, that is March 31st, 2004, and no let up in sight.
I've got buckets all around one workbench where the roof leaks.
I started with one pound coffee cans and they were getting filled up every hour. Now I've gone to 5 gallon buckets.
I've got to go home soon! I hope the shop won't float away before I get back tomorrow morning!!

Well, I'll dump all the buckets and hope it slows down some over night.
I'll let you know tomorrow morning how I made out.

This is the perfect time to go up and fix the roof, because now you know where all the leaks are.

I just have to go get the mill saw started and I'll get on building your ark as soon as I finish Noah's

Just kidding. IT IS the right time to fix the leaks in the roof though because you should be able to see right through the weak spots in it.

I couldnt resist that one.

I hear that gopher wood makes a good one. But if you build it like your roof it will not do you much good.

The heavy rail let up around 2 am according to the weather girl this morning.
But she said the weather spotter in the next town over from my shop measured 7.75 inches of rain, so far, as of 6 am this morning.
My buckets didn't over fill over night and my shop is still here.
I'll not be needing that ark right now but keep it on hold for a while we might get some more rain Sunday night into Monday.

And thanks for all the advice about how and when to fix my roof. It's high on the list of things that I'm suppose to do.

It's been raining for three and a half days here in SW PA, hard at times. Too muddy to even drive across the mill yard, so here I sit on the old computer.

Just got back from visiting a customer. A low-lying corn field had a flock of ducks swimming in it. Yea, it's wet.

It only goes up to dec 03 or jan 04- but look how much we've improved. And we should be WELL into the green for jan/feb/mar o4. A little break from worrying about drought. lw

Jim, when you get your leaks fixed, can you do a whole roof for me. Bird shingles going to be replaced with metal.

Hey Jim, tell ya I'll do. I have enough lumber her from a job a fella had me log the logs from his place, hual them here 30 miles and saw 8,000 board feet of Douglas Fir for a 6,000 square foot house. The lumber has been sawed for 3 months and the sawing portion has not been paid for as yet. I will sell you all the lumber for the price of the sawing; $3,000.00. But, and there is always a but, you will have to pay for the shipping

I am just trying to help.

The lumber is worth around $5,000 plus.

canoes w/ motors

never see that in the adks

pappy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2004, 04:53:56 am »

redpowerd,
there's been outboard motors on canoes around these parts since there's been outboard motors.

you can motor literally hundreds of miles in this northern part of the state with an outfit of such.

A great way to get away from the crowds and at times you wouldn't believe the fishing that can be had this way.

redpowerd · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2004, 06:34:52 am »

im wondering where all the fish will go when the feilds dry up this spring

Jim_Rogers · « **Reply #19 on:** April 05, 2004, 08:31:46 am »

Well the rain finally slowed down over the weekend.
But now it's snowing again!!!!

Can this really be April?
