Idle Words

Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

That First Time

The first time I visited the area, I got to this point on Highway 118 and thought to myself - who the hell could live out here?  I think about that every time I pass this spot...since moving here 11 1/2 years ago.  75,103,94,0,W

the wicked...

Psalm 37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Early Bird

This time of year it is brutally hot and the only way I can get any work done on the casita is by setting an alarm and getting up at 5AM.  I was resisting the notion until I decided it has been so long since I had to get up daily with an alarm...at this point it is a novelty that I am willing to try out for a change.  The goal for now is to be on the job before the sun pokes over the mountain.  93.99.75,0,B

starting the tin

Had a slight hiccup yesterday when I discovered that McCoys had sent me the wrong inside closures for the roofing.  They delivered the correct ones this morning and I got started by getting the drip edge in place and figuring out how the roofing is going to line up.  I have to trim both the eve edges of the metal to center it on the building.  Metal eve trim will protect the outside edges from water penetration.  Placed one section of closure with butyl tape and I am ready to proceed tomorrow morning.  (Hint:  they aren't kidding when the butyl tape manufacturers suggest refrigerating the tape - it is very difficult to peel off the paper backing when it is warm.)  90,98,72,0,B
