Across the country road that runs by my corner lot,
there are some homes
that date back to the 1940s. One little frame home
just sold, and the
new owner is making some improvements, one of which
is adding an
aluminum roof. This scene is visible from my favorite spot
at the
breakfast bar, and I have been entertained this week by the
gentleman
installing the roof, a one-man roofing crew. While he has
been
interrupted by thundershowers, he has made amazing progress since
starting on
Monday.

An interesting shot
which raises several matters in my mind.
1. It would be great if you
loaded the image to the LUG site at about 1500 (or more) pixels width
and we could see a bit more clearly what your new camera is capable of.
Same comment applies to you daffodil shot.
2. What a contrast in
work-place practices between the USA and NZ. Anybody working on rooves
here MUST put up scaffolding for the sake of worker safety, or 'Health
and Safety' ministry will come down on them like a ton of bricks. There
is an ongoing campaign here to reduce workplace accidents and the use of
ladders for work such as that just doesn't cut the mustard. I must post
images of the scaffolding, taken during our rebuild.
3. Sale price. How
lucky somebody was. $35,000. That's equivalent to nearly $50,000 NZD. A
house like that would go for at least $200,000 here! - and much more in
a city.
Cheers, Brian
