It was 9 AM. A knock on the door. And so the roofers arrived, with big trucks and tools, and noise! They ripped off our old roof, and put new plywood down and put in special vents. They didn't find to many problems underneath, which was good. The keeper spent the morning cleaning all of the cobwebs and dirt off of the walls. When they are covered, we don't notice it. But, we collected piles of dust and dead spiders and stuff. It smells better now. Then she went out and cleaned out the gardens some more and started planting some more plants she picked up at Lowes for 25 cents because they were a little limp. The foreman is also a carpenter so he may work for us later and build us some new planter boxes. So she put plants in new planters so we could put them in the new cedar boxes when they are ready.
When she came back into the house she noticed what I had been observing after she went outside. She said, "Ack!" And headed out to talk to the foreman. We now have a hole in our ceiling and it is getting a little bigger. He said now he knows where the missing hammer is!
They will repaint the ceiling and fix it, but.. now she will want to paint the whole living room and dining room.
I had to sit inside all day. When they all left, I went out, but it smelled different, so I came back in. I smelled other cats that don't live around here. They had all kinds of tarps wrapped around the deck and the plants. I was proud though because I was not afraid of their noise and I kept a sharp eye on them all day/
