Been taking it easy the last couple of days, as my back has started to feel a bit tight. Probably not used to the prolonged manual labor like I've been doing. Been watching sports, and movies, glued to the couch, when I had an LED mod idea (cuz of course I did...
) So went into the spare room to look through my bins for some SMD LEDs that I used in my rear view mirror mod, and while standing there, my back started to spasm.
So pain killers and back to the couch for the afternoon...
Next big project is the roof for the addition next to my shed. Not sure what happened when the PO built it, but the roof of the shed itself is in great shape. The screened in enclosure adjacent to it, is disintegrating. I thought it had a bad shingle job, lost them, and that's how the water was rotting the decking under it, but after getting up on a ladder for a good look, that seems to not be the case. So all this is gonna get torn out, probably at some point this week. Shingles will be cheaper, but galvanized steel panels will be faster and easier. Decisions, decisions. The rafters are still solid and in good shape, except for one at the bottom edge running across, underneath the drip edge. That one's rotted in a couple places, and will need to be replaced, which is easy enough.
The lowest point in the shed is probably about 6' on the sides, but the addition continues sloping down, and it's lowest point is about 5'. From what I can tell, it was built as an area to relax that overlooks the water out back, but the brush has grown quite a bit, and I'm too tall for it, so it's just random storage. Nothing important gets stored in this area, definitely stuff that I don't care about water/weather exposure. Mainly junk that hasn't gotten tossed yet, and my scrap metal bin that needs to get taken for recycling. That skylight is probably gonna get junked, just because without it, I can slap 3 uncut plywood sheets up there. On the left side of the pic, just below the shed roofline, you can see an electrical junction box, which is connected to a fluorescent light. That will get replaced with an LED version, as well as inside the shed. So I've got a bit of modding ahead of me before the weather heats up again.
Other than pricing out options for this project, and a couple of movies, have been sipping on a bit of Malibu Black, and my back no longer hurts.
I should probably go to bed soon before the buzz wears off.
Most of the money was paid in cash 
It was DRAWN on their financial institution! They said to cash it I would need to set up a "temporary" account. Next month I will be moving out of state I'll damned if I will drive back to close out some "temporary" account they might have started and heaven forbid I get 2 pennies of interest and need to claim it on my taxes provided the usps could forward mail properly. I asked for my id and the check back and went to my current credit union and deposited the funds. Also in order to set up their "temporary" account the need ssn (understandable, tax purposes) but also your place of employment. I said I hadn't worked in 10 years. She said she Must Have what I did prior. Why, I asked since it isn't pertinent anymore. They must have it if I want the check cashed. Kiss my *zz. I am not a loud person, but to the twenty folks in line waiting for a teller while I walked out I waved the check in the air stating LOUDLY "that the credit union wouldn't cash a check written on their own financial institution. Me thinks the government it trying it's best to keep us from using cash making it beyond difficult to just cash a check.
