7/18/07 Roof # 3

Today Bob and his helper, Matt, started the roofing job on the third of seven Kamper Kabins to be done. This one is in the shade too since this is suppose to be a very hot week. The weatherman was saying today is going to be the hottest one yet.

Bob and Matt start their workdays at 6 a.m. so that they aren't working in the heat of the afternoon. Today it made no matter since it was a take your breath away kind of day when you stepped outside of an air conditioned building. It's not that it was so much humid, the humidity level was only at 55%, it was just stinkin' hot!

Since the campground rules state that quiet time last until 7 a.m. they couldn't really start tearing off the roof since we had campers nearby. They used the first hour to get the material from the barn they'll need loaded and onsite. They did get the cedar shakes torn off on one side of the roof, got the new plywood installed and the black felt paper down before calling it a day. Its just too hot to be doing work like this. I worry about him in this heat but he does make sure he drinks plenty of water.

There was nothing really unusual about my day. I started packaging ice and that will be a priority for the next few days. It looks like we'll be busy on the river again this weekend so we'll sell lots of ice.

It was a quiet day here in the campground. The few over nighters we had pulled out early and we didn't have too many come in the afternoon. It made for a long afternoon.

After spaghetti and meatballs for dinner we settled in for an evening of television.
