i was working at one place Fred that was really old

2 weeks ago i go to air start the chain saw as i bucked up lengths of slab wood .....and i was doing this time and again as i worked the pile....and the cord jams spinning the saw a 180 degrees into
my leg (not running) but with a new sharp chain, i still got a nasty cut right thru my new dungarees with just one tooth...

so that was my latest (blunder) ie safety reminder LOL

You need one of those Tin Man suits or at least a pair of chain chaps.

you funny Dave......oil can - oil can !

well, i got that son of a bitch roof rebuilt finally

had to rebuild the peak of the kitchen roof where it meets the main house as it was completely gone

that way i could stand on it to reach the rest and re-board it

it's all tar papered and secured for this weekends rain storm
next up i'll get a bundle of Shingles and finish it up

finally have a roof over my head for winter. yay !
I am sore as hell though and it's taken two jacuzzi's
to get rid of the pains....

but the worst thing was the friggan Lady bugs (hundreds of them always on your face...)
had to wear a surgical mask... brush one off and another one lands on ya....pain in the ASS
