Earlier in the summer, the property management announced that roofing crews would be on site in August. The announced schedule never matched up with when they were actually here, though. They were here in August, then some September dates were given, and the September dates didn’t happen, then they were back week before last, and then they returned this week on Thursday and Friday to work on my building and the adjacent building.
Imagine my joy to open my front door Thursday morning to the site of a crane parked in my front yard.
The crew, which includes several young Amish men, was tearing stuff off the roof and tossing it down out in front of my apartment.
And they had a palette of wooden beams onto which the metal roofing was going to be attached ready to go.
I decided the best thing to do was to get the hell out of Dodge for the day.
Friday morning, while my building wasn’t done…
…they were working on the building adjacent.
They were hard at work.
And they seemed to be making good progress throughout the day.
They did not complete their work on Friday — the overhands still need to be finished — and as they left the crane and some other work vehicles on site, I assume they will be back on Monday.
The acorns have been falling for about two weeks, and they make a definite pling! sound when they hit the metal roofs.
