Wow 4 days since last post

Last Friday I worked some on the presentation for the Travis Country Appraisal District. I will focus on the condition of the roof as the land is priced pretty accurately. I finished the mould ing around the front door and need to seal a few more things next week and then put a coat of paint on it. Its still sitting with its original primer and nothing else. I found a new can of exterior white semigloss which should be just right.
Over the weekend I realised the pictures needed to be dated and retook most of them. Walgreens did a great and swift job of printing them. Since the Apprailsal board has been known to keep your pictures and board I bought a new trifold board from Office Depot . Nearly forgot the bowed roof on the north side and had to put those pictures on Monday before the afternoon presentation. I drove down and got everything done in 2 hours including arriving an hour early. We are at the same valuation as last year, though the land is valued less by 10 and the house slightly more. After comparing all the houses on the circle we are doing pretty well. I have the spreadsheet if anyone is interested.
The heat continues and the evenings are still hot due to cloud cover. No rain in the forecast but more 3 digit days. The attic is too hot, maxs at 131 F today. At least it cools faster with the better air flow. Hard to believe the summer is just started.
Its so hot the the shed that we were going to get 10' by 12' grew to 16 by 20 with a height of 11'. Its going in where the old shed was except it will poke out thru the fence like a regular garage, actually the will be a garage door to open if you wish. It is about 10 years old but the folks who have seen them say they are great shape. The original builder is going to move them for us. Robert's is a little bigger then ours and will sit directly on the old slab.
I emptied the old shed and placed most of the contents. The shelf went into the pumphouse and other stuff is piled for recycling. Tomorrow morning I take all the branches and tree trimmings down to Jody's house and will fill in her erosion. That was convenient. There is another p
ile ready for the metal recycling center. I may have a full pickup truck full of household trash too. Thats cheap at $4.00. Its crunch time as the shed will be delivered on Friday and I need to set some cinder blocks for the skids under shed. The very back may require some buildit up about two levels.
Time for bed now, early day tomorrow..................
