I had a SCREW PARTY

I’m finally seeing a little bit of progress sense the tree fell on my porch from hurricane Laura punching a hole in my roof giving me an unwanted skylight. I decided it was time for a little remodeling also, so instead of having a screen porch I would move the kitchen and living room wall out 8’ for a little more room. Talk about being out of touch with lumber prices, pink studs $5.75, 2 x 4 treated $7 and 2 x 6 treated $10.50 unbelievable. I repored a slab on top of the original 16 x 32’ porch and added a 14 x 23’ carport then all of this had to covered by a new tin roof. Got the outdoor fire place back in place and started burning some of the 5 rakes of wood from trees that got removed that were to close to the new addition. It was beer drinking time to celebrate the milestone and had to feed the crew some fryed back strap and French frys. Attachment 386619

That's going to be a very senseable and most useful addition for sure. I know you'll be glad to have it all behind you... and for life to get back to normal.

Having some help is worth its weight in gold -- { BEER }

I haven't bought any lumber lately, but I heard prices were high. Didn't know they were that high!

Looks like a good job so far.

Awesome chip

Looking good.

Guys thank for all the helpful thoughts but I have never been in a situation like this were mother nature has wrecked destruction on me like this. I cannot come close to the feeling of those that lost everything, I mean I was able to patch, repair, add on and rebuild on my owne but the mental stress of this small project is unbelievable. I'm hanging in there till completion but my reacurring thoughts have been of those who had it worse. I plan on joining the Cajun Navy and donate my time and boat to the next disaster. Thanks for listening I just had to vent.

Chip....
Don't forget Spot....he can help too
