Sick = Bad Ass = Awesome = Groovy Man = Radical = Off the Chain! Been a long time since Iāve heard my momās friend from Scotland talk, hard to remember how heād exclaim (either before or after a few drinks) Skinny semi-short guy that drove a truck for a living, what a riot he was!
Complimentary utterings from slack jaws.
PS: Iāll fill that story in a bitā¦ when my mom was in 5th grade back in ā44 the schools thought it would be good relations to have students send letters to schools in England. My Mom and Lettie exchanged letters and have been in touch their entire lives, now some 74 years. Lettie grew up and married a guy from Scotland, Glendenning by name, and they lived in Moffat, Scotland. Lettie worked at a near legendary candy shop there for many years. Jim died quite some years back but Lettie still lives in Moffat, Scotland, English by birth and quite a contrast to her Scottish husband, her with her English accent and him with his guttural almost barking use of English. And as it turns out, where I live out in the country in the Heart of Texas there is a small community named Moffat about 6 or 7 miles from me. Moffat Texas. All this seems special to me because I have Scottish and Irish in me blood. (German and English as well, but Iām pure Texan American mutt)
It did happened. My wifeās dad has this job for 20 years so he done most of the work because he know how to make a roof so I just helped and did what he told me. I thenk him a lot for his help!
Still have a lot work with it but I think the hardest part is complete.
Yāall must get a lot of snow huh? What is that, a 10/12 pitch? Pretty steep! Glad Iām not the one doing that! Second thought, looks like it may even be a 12/12! (We donāt get snow, our roof is 4/12ā¦)
Bet youāre gonna enjoy having a new roof over your head! Kudoās to F-I-L for all the hard work! :+1:
Sometimes we have almost no snow in a whole winter but sometimes we have 10-12 inch in one day. 3-5 inch is normal. Most of the houses built like tis roof pitch here. The old roof was full of wasps so we needed to be careful and exterminate most of them a few days earlier than the work.
