The roof is not on fire

Nor is it leaking. At least not the garage roof. The porch roof needs a little more work (such as, say, shingles). Double marathon of roofing this weekend. Ripping up nails takes forever (and they don’t pound down so nicely when there’s tar underneath them, so they have to be ripped up). Only one bit of rotten wood to replace on the porch, which is a miracle, but it’s the piece that’s directly over the hidden hornet’s nest. Much insecticide. I’m pretty light on the pesticides, but when it comes to hornets and wasps, it’s the 20-foot range Instant Spray of Death. I need to re-spray this morning and then with any luck I can get that board replaced this evening and get started on the shingles. Arrgh!
