Morning coffee

[RICH MUISE]

Over the years when I was in the gallery/art business, I was frequently asked by young upcoming artists what the secret was to selling art, because they were not. I'd tell them not to get discouraged, the secret is finding your niche, and it takes a while.
Jeff's awesome talent became successful when he found that niche at an earlier age than most artists. Jeff maybe has a different take on his career, my comment is just an outsider looking in.
Another great work, Jeff, and thanks for posting, Terry.

In the late '60s, worked many slick roofs.  Bounced and couple of times...don't bounce well anymore.

The crew are carrying straight claw hammers.  As you slide down a slick roof, those straight claw hammers work much like an ice axe.

Most of the roofs here are metal and are slick when damp.  I slide off a few when I was younger but landed on grass.  The last one was at age 68 and I went off sideways onto the concrete.  So broke a lot of things on my right side and brain injury.  I'm ok now, but some people don't agree.

ouch!!!! I forgot what part of Oklahoma you live in. I did a show in Mustang this past October.

Yes.I try to stay off ladders.. heck...I can't jump off my pickup bed anymore... the impact just jars my knees and back.
I watch in awe as the crew works away.. kinda like circus performers... The 8/12 pitch is steep and  I would be terrified swinging around like they do.


I try to help but really want to stay out of their way... So I regulate myself to ground work.
Today.. I will button up and finish off the pink insulation work on the ground floor..... can't attach any 4x8 plywood sheets to the inner walls as we await a frame inspection from the building code inspector Monday or Tuesday.

And I wish ALL a very Happy Holidays..... no matter what your preference is.

All this talk about roofs , We had a tall pine tree fall and hit our roof and eave last Wednesday. Still waiting for the insurance adjuster to arrive (says Thursday). Wish us luck.

[CobraJoe]

  That sucks, sorry to hear. Dealing with insurance companies is never fun

[terry_208]

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season or whatever you call it.  I call it Christmas but I know it's more than that to others.  Stay warm and safe!
