Break

The rain started maybe the afternoon that the stucco work was finished, and it continued up until this week. A slight break in the weather pattern brought us a few sunny days for painting /priming, both inside and out.

No, it's not done.

Yes, it is raining.

Ike

As these charts show, Ike is pretty far away. However,
it's windy and overcast and I've been seeing tree limbs
on the ground and on top of cars. Not huge tree limbs,
but enough to scratch the paint or maybe make a little
dent. Last night's progress was shut down by a very intense
squall that lasted about 20 minutes.

Phase 2: Tearing off the Roof! -- Day 2

I'm told I have to pay extra for the male models.

Progress!!! And all this while
Hurricane Gustav was "bearing down on us."

Phase 2: Bandroom Cleanout

These photos speak for themselves.

A cracked beam...
Happy Jimmy!

Anybody want a crappy old organ?

Maddie scrapes the tile.

Progress!!! And all this while Hurricane Fay
was "bearing down on us."
