Haunted, Bees and Ticks

Here's Kara checking on the roof progress! This is the back roof of the kitchen.


In this photo you can see the attic window (above the breezeway on the right side of this photo) - Matt was laughing because he asked one of the roofers if he looked in that window and the guy goes, "No man I'm not looking in there." A week ago they blew the main breakers and lost power, and they were going to use their own generators after that. Yesterday Matt noticed they were plugged in to the house and said, "Hey so you flipped the breaker?" and they all stopped what they were doing and just looked at him. Finally one guy said, "No, we thought you did. We came back to the house and there were lights on." We most definitely did not. So, you know, ghosts.

The main portion of the house is done being roofed, and now they're finishing up the garage and breezeway. The garage was really really bad, lots of rot, so lots of replacement wood going in there. However, Matt was able to return a bunch of OSB that will probably even out the cost, so we are still within budget!

The roofer did call to say we have a lot of ticks around, so we have been checking Buddy to make sure he didn't get one on our last outing there. Our vet checked him too and he seems to be okay, but now we have to spray and get that taken care of. The other thing we have is a honeybee hive! That's fun, except I don't want to be a beekeeper. So I guess actually that's not fun. My niece McKenna gave us the phone number of a friend who would like the hive, so hopefully we can transfer them peacefully!

  1. Okay, that is creepy about the lights being on in the house!!! Ahh! Maybe the ghost of the Leaning Tower of Treesa???
    P.S. I meant to say earlier, but I love the title of your blog. I think the three "very"s is what makes it great, haha!
