OSUT#249 - What's Cooking at Your House??

The Amish guys are at it again on the neighbor's garage. They got started about 7:30. I should've known they were Amish before he told me. No nail guns. All hammer and nails.

the local dam is dry as a bone and the canal is just a mosquito pit, the river broke through the banks about 200 yards upstream and is rerouting itself

You've had that much rain up there?

I passed a girl with a dress and bonnet the other day on my way to Nappanee, she was in a Gator and driving slow cause she was on her cell phone.

nope, didn't mow last week either, it has been every other week for a while now. The pine needles are starting to drop already

It started breaking thru last year already and just keeps getting worse

I was wondering what made the river leave its banks.

well that certainly doesn't sound great

 

[klausm]

path of least resistance, some of it had been redirected a long time ago when they made the canals for the old wool mill and then for the hydro power system that NIPSCO then shut down and gave to the parks The banks had always been weak and then you get some trees falling and blocking it it will then find the ground hog holes that have been tunneled in and break, lots of factors at play.

Dang these guys work fast. They're already putting on the metal roofing. This morning, there weren't even any trusses up there!

 

[OneBadV8]

that's pretty fast, especially with only hammers

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, one hour from no trusses to having half the roof on is crazy fast.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

OH... they worked yesterday so they did get trusses up. I was at the office and didn't think about that, but Susan confirmed. That makes more sense.

the ones around here will use nail guns, generator and air compressors on their trailer that they pull around with a tractor that will 40 mph.

Yeah, ones around here use the same stuff as any other contractor. Some have drivers, others just drive and pretend they have a driver.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I guess they are using screw guns for the roof.
