The pounding never stops

We're currently getting a new roof. Boy. It sounds like those guys are pounding the nails right into the side of my head. We just finished day four of pounding. And not short days-- 12 hour days. It's taking a long time because our house has two layers of really old, thick shingles on it. The oldest layer is the home's original roof. You try scraping off 50 year old nails. And yet, they still have one more day.

It's very disruptive, but I am happy. The roof is the last big, expensive mandatory no-fun project we have left. (That I know of...) We've done the furnace and new windows. Everything else is either decor or improvement, or eco-geek stuff. If we can come up with the cash, we want to get solar panels in a couple of years. How oll would that be?
