There is some work that need to be done on the house, and that is finally scheduled to begin next week. I should have some interesting pictures, since part of the job involves roof work. Metal roofs cause snow to "avalanche" as soon as the temperature reaches the upper 30s. This brings all the snow down at once in a compact pile that is very difficult to move. It can block doors and steps, and it's a general pain. The weight of the snow also damages vent pipes on the roof. Nobody believes that PVC pipe can be snapped by snow, but trust me on this, it can and did. Snow stops staggered along the length of the roof should solve the problem.
Without the "avalanches", I'll once again be able to have rain gutters on the house. This will help during flooding, since at this point, all the roof rain falls right at the base of the foundation. In addition to the roof, there's some minor electrical upgrading, and new tub surrounds in both bathrooms, and new bathroom floors.
Now, for why I posted....

And there you have it, October 27--FALL!
On Sunday there will be a 4C-Camp (Camping to Create Caring Communities)reunion, covered dish, planning session for next year. Camp was cut short last August due to the approaching Hurricane Irene, but I thoroughly enjoyed the time we did spend there and I'm ready to get started on next year's experience. I'm the admin of the 4C-Camp Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/4cCamp) so I'm always looking for material suitable to post; either camp-related activity, or community activity that camp members are involved in.
Everything else is the same as it's been.
Happy FALL!
