Here, my boating time is being stolen by windows that need painting,
preparing for roof installation, putting up fencing to keep the friggin'
deer away from the vegetables, getting kid off to college, tree trimming,
band practice. This is ridiculous. The boat's growing mold.

Ouch! Sounds like an expensive summer.

I'm just about fully converted to new vinyl vertical sliders.
No more tedious painting of sills, sashes, stoops, jambs, mutton bars etc.

Maybe a little less political bickering would provide some boating time?
Replace the windows with the plastic framed variety, let the deer eat what
they want and buy your veggies at the local farmer's market, wave goodbye
to the kid, who should be able to do his own packing, let the trees grow,
and go boating. Easy!

Will you do your own roofing??
My turn is coming up in a year or so. Since we have a two story house with
a 9 in 12 roof pitch, I'll probably hire someone to do it.

Nah...it would take too long. I don't want the house uncovered for more than
a day or a day and a half. No place to rent enormous tarps around here. And,
I'm having a ridge vent installed. That's not in my current skill set.

If anyone ever asks how you spend your days, how will you explain that you
police a newsgroup, rather than doing something constructive with your life?
