Day 93 November 2, 2001

What a beautiful day. Just like the song (U2). Who knew I would get a T-shirt day in November? Well, better make hay while the sun shines. Up early and tarred the last wall (second coat). The tarring is done. When it dries I can put the footing drain pipes in and then I will be ready for my inspection. I still need to get the basement slab poured, hopefully soon. Then I can finally backfill. I really want to backfill so the fall off the roof isn't so far. Today I put up outlookers on one side. They will support the roof overhang. Each piece is cut to length, gets 2 notches and 2 holes drilled in it. One of the notches fits into a similar notch in the end rafter and the other is for ventilation. The holes are also for ventilation in the soffit.

Naturally, the well guy didn't show up with my money. So I called him. He answered the phone. I said "Friday is almost over. And my money is where?" He said "I'm getting my rig tomorrow." I said "I don't care, you told me Wednesday in front of 3 cops you would bring my money today." He said "I don't even have to give you your money back." I said "do you know..." and he said goodbye and hung up. Looks like I go to court now. I bet that won't be nearly as satisfying as punching him.

12 hours, sunny and warm around 70.
