I remember when the guys built my barn, standing like you are here is a challenge, and you make it look so easy

It's looking great EddieWalker, you're an inspiration (as well as that girlfriend of yours). Keep the pics coming, I'm having a blast following your progress /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

she is definately a keeper, just make sure you make it up to her. however the true test is when it is time to hang insulation. be a jentleman, remember what she has done so far, give her your credit card and send her shopping. my wife of 16 years has helped me do the insulation on two houses now and after the second one i figured that was no way to treat a lady.

Thanks for the kind words.

We did a little of the other side last night, so it wasn't so bad this morning. We both woke up a little sore, me from hauling the panals on my head and shoulder, her from bending over and standing on an angle all day. Plus all the damage done by the heat and humidity.

Here she is again, "Super Girlfriend"!!!!!!!!!!!

We finished up the remaining panals fairly quickly today. The previous day was the hard one. I wanted to do the heavy stuff first because I knew how week I'd be as this went on.

By the time we got to the roof peaks, I could only carry two at a time.

This is my latest favorite photo. She really worked hard, and the finished product is better then we'd hoped for.

Of course, this is her first time roofing, and she had no idea what to expect. Don't know if I'll get her on top of a roof again, especially on a 95 degree day with 60 percent humidity.

Neither of us like heights, but both will do what we have to in order to get the job done. She just keeps impressing me more and more!!!!!

So a funny thing happened to me on the way home. hahaha

I was on my little tractor, bringing my tools back, when something hit me on the back. I figured it was a bug of some kind, but didn't think twice until my girlfriend freaked out.

This of course caused me to freak out also. I thought it was either a monster spider or a red legged wasp. Both are things that terrify me.

This turned out to be something new that I'm afraid of. Don't know what it is, or if it's dangerous, but I do know I don't want it crawling on my back!!!!!!!

Anybody know what it is???

Eddie
