Intern on the Roof

Friday morning I worked with Walter on getting some window type things screwed onto the garage. We needed to work from the top of the tin roof, which did a fantastic job of reflecting the sun back at us and raising the temperature. Luckily, we got some cloud cover for a bit. We also got chased down by some rain for a few minutes, but it stopped and we were able to finish those up by lunch. It was actually very enjoyable work. In the afternoon, Walter worked on adding some extra support to the frame, and I dug a trench that a drainage pipe connected to the downspout will be put into so that there are not huge pools of water when it rains. I worked on that until I needed to get ready to go, and then played cards with a few other interns while I waited for the bus. Dinner was a lot less hectic than usual since we had pizza delivered to the House, so I got a chance to talk with some of the people from the group, mainly about my northern accent. Apparently I say “bag” and “coke” very oddly.
