Front Yard Port-a-Potty

Roofers Roofing, Trucks Parking, and Port-a-Pottying
We've got roofers ripping the hell out of our roof this week, replacing shingles that ... well, that are in need of replacing.

The driveway is jammed with big trucks and we've had to park one of our cars outside (that little white SUV there) so it doesn't get trapped in the garage. It came in useful too, yesterday. See, we're also having our kitchen painted and it's difficult to cook anything without having to dig into boxes to find pans and utensils.

I was a little surprised to see that the roofers brought their own port-a-potty to use. There it is, that familiar green structure behind our SUV.

I'm kind of proud of it being there. I mean, how many people in the neighborhood have a functioning outhouse in their front yard? I betcha I'm the envy of all around us.

It's kinda cool, after a while. After getting used to the hustle and bustle of workers (and yeah, the outhouse too) you start feeling a kind of energy. It's progress. Old roof gets torn out, and soon it'll be the birth of a brand new roof. It's kinda exciting to see something get built up like that, with the hard work of those who know their craft.
