if i had a hammer, i'd hammer before 8am.

we needed a new roof so we called a roofer and the roofer got up on the roof and had a li'l looksee and found hail damage and recommended we call the insurance adjuster, so we called the adjuster and the adjuster got up on the roof and had a li'l looksee and found hail damage and filled out some forms and presto we got some money. my old man was a bit apprehensive about accepting it, but i was all like woohoo! he was all, it's not the lotto, but i was all, hey we have put like 10s of thousands of dollars into this policy and we are just getting some back and the insurance company still comes out ahead. my old man was all, it's not a savings account, and i was all, bah!

so the crew showed up today around 8am and worked a while in the boiling sun, and i axt my old man why didn't they get here earlier because they were losing like 2 hours of temperate daylight. i axt him and he axt them, and turns out they didn't want to wake us. we said no prob b/c we'd be up by then. they suggested we clear it with the neighbors.

westerly neighbor said, hey no problem. easterly neighbor would not come to the door. i thought maybe they were out to dinner, but my old man said no, they smoke a little weed. firstly, who the hell says "weed" anymore and secondly, i am really not convinced weed smoking would preclude door answering.

i googled "roofer" for a picture to go with this post, and this pic came up. perhaps the weed smoking has not so much to do with door answering as with roofing. hmm?? hmm???
