Columbus Day was a flurry of activity here on our Pashley Road Ranch. Chris, John and I patched cracks and sealed the 95ft. long shed roof with special fiber enhanced sealer. It was a struggle trying to keep the roof clear of the falling leaves, but other than that, the sun was out and the conditions were perfect for this project.
Meanwhile, while we were ‘glopping’ up the roof (and ourselves), Kevin, Walt, and Bob rearranged and moved motorcycles in the salvage yard to accommodate the bikes out front of the shop. This will clear out the covered area and make room for more acquisitions next year. Dave spent the day running back and forth between the shed and the shop, supervising and helping as much as possible. We kiddingly nicknamed him the “Roof Nazi”. Any Seinfeld fans will know exactly what I mean.
Amazingly we all finished at the same time. I went and got cleaned up, and had to throw away my old work clothes and shoes, which were now caked with silver sealer (I certainly am a messy painter). The guys still had lots of energy, so they completed the last step in the shed revitalization by cutting and installing more locust posts in the back, adding more support. It is so convenient to be able to go into our woods, pick out just the right tree, cut it down, drag it back to the shed with Hercules, and then measure and cut it for the proper size posts. As an added bonus, the huge locust tree they cut down was right in the way of the new oval flat track that Dave is making for the weekend motorcycle rides.
We certainly do appreciate everyone’s help with all our projects this year and cannot thank them enough!
