Well, today was certainly an interesting day! Ralph spent all day replacing wood on the back side of the house. To add to this, he fell through the deck and he was lucky he didn't break his leg. I think it's time to replace the deck! At one point, the wind was blowing so hard, it caught a piece of the plywood that he was holding that he thought for sure he would be thrown backwards off the ladder. I'm sure that it was through the grace of God that he found the strength in his legs to hold on because both his hands were full holding onto the wood. What a day he has had. Thankfully Ed came by tonight to help him and they have now moved to the 4th and final wall. We'll certainly be happy when this part of the job is done. Up near the eve's trough's, Ralph pulled off wood that was being invested by Carpenter bee's. We've known that we had this problem for a couple of years and we have faithfully been spraying to try to keep them under control. It is amazing the amount of damage that they did. As well, Ralph still see's Ant's walking up the back wall. Tomorrow I'm going to contact an exterminator and find out what we need to do. Ah, the joy's of renovating!!
