Well, Summer is now half over, Things are growing fast, Contractors are hustling to get things done, some are already scheduling work for next year, people are hiring anyone with a Hammer and a Saw an Truck and still there are so much repairs and damaged homes around and some now falling down !
.
.
It has been H & H, Hot and Humid, the thermometer has read 92 degrees, I don't remember those temps for years back when I was out in the Hay Field or in the Garden during the summer as a boy. We have all 3 AC Units running but nice and cool in the basement, 68 degrees down there !
.
.
The Lettuce Bucket attached to the railing on the porch is great idea My Honey had, Delicious and grows fast !
.
.
The Koosa is started and we have picked 8, we will have a Big Feed Thursday Night with the Family !
.
.
The Tomatoes are awesome, soon we will have some sweet 100 and some Grape size ZEN tomatoes.
.
Other than Tending the Gardens and mowing and running to the Doctors we have been pretty quiet.
.
.
This house is across the road, their Porch with the railings and slanted roof was torn off yesterday ! I know the contractor who is doing the work !!! This morning he and his crew of 3 pulled in and started building in the rain.
.
.
This is what they have gotten done by 2PM, looks like they are picking up to call it a day !
.
.
Their white work Trailer, the black pickup with the old porch they tore down and scraps. There 2 x 6 braces are gone now and the support for the porch roof is 2 pressure treated 4 X 4 Posts.
.
.
This is one of the 2 corner posts holding up the roof, Lagged into the concrete slab. Be OK unless it's hit with the Snow Blower or Lawn Mower, 3 sides lagged down. I would have used a 6" X 6".
.
.
9- 2" X 6" roof joists hung with Hanger Plates attached to 1 inch plate !!!
.
.
Canopy set up in front of Garage to air out and strech, have not used it since we sold last camper 3 years ago. It is still in Brand new (Old) shape !!!
.
Time to go get ready for dinner !

We are beat, and YES it is hard to believe Summer is half gone and headed into August. AND YES again, it is tough to get jobs done now, not only is the building business hiring every worker the can, The remodelers are screaming about the lumber prices, I have ever witnessed lumber climbing this fast in price.
The yard sale has my tail dragging..
