January 16


This is me on a roof. It only one story, but a roof nonetheless. It is a good thing I am not scared of heights. I was, however, scared to get down. I ended up going through that window in the back instead of down the non-stable ladder.

Today I got to help Dad and Adison put siding on that wall I am measuring. It took me a bit to understand what Dad was telling me to do. He kept saying things like, "make sure that's flush with the side." Um, what does that mean? (Flush can also mean to make level, which I eventually figured out.)

Also, being on the roof and helping made me realize how much I didn't like geometry, which is used a lot in construction. Mostly right angles and stuff like that.
