Chuck Carter and his step-dad Vic, Matt Johnson and Jen, and Kevin Schaber came over today and worked their butts off.
For those of you that have visited casa del pimpa (or whatever Vinny used to call this place), we have some major pine tree issues around here. The trees were overtaking the house. Kevin brought over his chainsaw and cut about 2/3 of the tree branches off the tree in the back (overtop the pool area). It's amazing how much more lit up the upstairs is - lots more sunlight.
Chuck got up on the roof (scary - I am scared to death of heights) and cleaned out the gutters, they had pine needles packed in them, and hammered the gutters back to the house. Matt, he just worked his butt off, carrying wood, cutting wood, he was even on the roof for awhile.
I just wanted to thank you guys again, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you have being doing for me (especially Chuck, he has been here working on this house for two weeks now). One thing he did say, I need a new shingles bad! They are falling off the roof. Somebody pm'd me about a hook-up on shingles. Now, to just find somebody to get up there and hammer them down. :evilgrin: I have a guy in NR I am going to check on - I heard he works fairly cheap. I am not looking for a freebee, but if anybody would like to PM me with a rate for putting on a new roof, I'd appreciate it. NO BIG HURRY, it's not leaking, I got up in the attic last weekend and did not see a leak, but it needs done sometime before next winter.
When it gets warmer, I'm going to have a big ole bonfire (LOTS OF WOOD TO BURN).
Here's a couple of pictures from the work today - nothing got broken, the neighbor's fence got a little bent, but I doubt if she even notices.
