Same here Hb 51 & a bit on the chilly side,I'm sure glad we never got no storms like you got,had an electrician check out my change over from over head to below ground,ain't gonna be cheap but in the long run still a money saver,gonna hook it up so I can when the time comes hook up a generator,been wantin one for a long time so with the grid the way its goin I figure I'll be a step ahead.

Rain a bit last night & been rainin earlier,a wet 62 degrees,I had my metal roof put on them guys had it on & done while I was thinkin bout it,put down a vapor barrier looked like house rap then screwed the metal over the top no 2×4's or nothin,he said you can do it both ways one costs a bit more but long enough screws & no need for lumber runners.

Chuck got the radiator on the tractor recored, but hasn't ran it long enough to see if it's going to overheat. I think he has a new Kubota setting at the dealers, too. Yesterday when I got home from riding, he said he checked our porch roof because I noticed water running down from the roof instead of going in the gutter. He thinks the roof needs to be replaced ☹️. I'll never get my house remodeled. I'm getting tired of being a home owner, so I went riding today. Got back just before the rain. Now it's supposed to rain until Saturday.
