As I write, it is 7:31 AM EDT on Friday and the Roofers are back for day #2; this __should__ be the final day.
They arrived a little before 7:00 AM and were up on the roof pulling off the old shingles on the southeast side of the house by 7:15. The northwest side of the house was completed yesterday.
The two satellite uplinks which are a fail-over for my radio show, were re-mounted (by Roofers) but the satellite dishes are __not__ aimed correctly. Very spotty service. Unreliable at best. The satellite company will be here over the weekend to re-aim them.
The TV satellite dish also needs to be re-mounted and re-aimed. I expect them here today as well.
PELLA WINDOWS is also scheduled to arrive back here today to finish putting the interior molding around the big bay window in the living room that they couldn't finish at the original install two weeks ago. In addition, they will finish the aluminum trim on the exterior, which couldn't be done at the original install because the pieces sent with the window were not the correct length.
So it's going to be another really busy day here today, but hopefully, all the work gets finished, finally!

I am an old radio aficionado in W. Central Ohio, who has been repairing radios and TVs since the '70s when in high school. I have profuse quantities of tubes, components, and tube gear, and enjoy building small shortwave sets for youth to give them the bug for electronics; showing them that electronics are not just some type of magical gadget that has no skills behind it. I like old test equipment, too - who remembers how to use a Wheatstone bridge ?
I too had the Amish build my shop spaces at home and the farm - they are fast and build well. Alas, I have never been able to dedicate anything but a small office in any building to radio purposes. Good on you.
And of course, I listen to Hal every night on SW just because it is the most reliable medium, with 3 stations, all of which I get very well. The old Hammarlunds, Zenith consoles, Hallicrafters, and Knights come in handy once in awhile, and I think their time is also yet to come. My thanks, too, to Hal for being a SW promoter.
Contractors who show up to start on the day they say they will be there, PLUS who show up to finish when they say they will ( without pulling off the job prematurely ), prove themselves to be a good choice. I wish I could say that's always been my experience, so I'm very happy for you.
