The roof is done, and looks very nice.



Friday they are going to put the left-over metal on two other buildings:

Jazz Mama


and a little traditional outhouse behind our garage that has a wooden roof. We use it for storing yard tools.

The Jazz just has rolled roofing plus a big rubber sheet. They are going to apply the metal on top of what is there.



We've already paid for the metal, and they said the labor would be about $200.

Animal update:

Quackers really missed the roofers today, and was ecstatic when they showed up this afternoon to clean up the yard. He will be thrilled when they return on Friday.

This is one of the naps, balancing on one foot for some reason. The dangling foot gradually descends to the concrete, and I wonder if this explains why the middle toenail is missing - maybe it has gotten worn down.



And early this evening Quackers was out front chilling, and the fox showed up in back. He stayed back there, but while he was eating I hustled Quackers into the safety of the garage. Fortunately he was willing to go in there.



So far, the fox seems to have forgotten about Quackers, which is great. Maybe he thought it was a hologram of a goose. Remember how I said the fisherman was able to hit the fox on the nose with his hat when he was facing off with Quackers? I checked tonight and there is no way the fox will let me that close to him. I wish I'd seen that.

Sometime next week I will take Quackers to his new home.
