Sheeeeeeee-it, Amos, them shakes been blowin' off the house ever since I moved in here. Roof leaked (on my wife's side of the bed, but not on the bed) back in December. Iffen the roof ain't gonna do any better'n that I'm replacin' it!

And yes, there will be someone here. In fact, I'll be in the basement giving a retreat to most of the supervisors this afternoon. The guns and all are all laid out and 'most everything is ready. I just need to remember to bring the laser from work.

The new roof will have a 50 year guarantee, 110 mph wind resistance, a ridge vent, and Class A fire resistance. It will also cost a bunch of money. We'll get the two doors replaced right smartly, too.
