The roofs (rooves?) have it

Not going to check for correct grammar, if you know it, you'll let me know.  OK?

For Sepia Saturday  (click here) this week, I've been wracking my brain to figure out what picture I might have that showed some danger.  So how about water?  Or piers?  Or guys having lunch?
Nada.

To the roof I go, as the photo at Sepia Saturday certainly shows roofs.


Here are the roof changes taking place across the street.  Not totally dangerous.

Oh the most dangerous activity was the tree trimmer, who took down grandmother oak which I posted about HERE and here and Here, a few weeks ago.  He definitely had his life dependent upon ropes and carefully used saws for several days.  I had the cameras out most of the days, but missed the main trunk going down.



Workers stand on the ceiling of the new kitchen wing that's being added to this old house.  An older addition to the house has been removed, leaving these eaves to take the roofing off.

Then weather did what it's been doing all spring, another snow, but the construction guys would show up every day, and rough in a second story room over the kitchen wing.  Here is a dawn picture with the green construction materials seen through the trees across the street.


This week in our sunny weather, they've put rafters over the second floor room.  Roofing is soon to come.  (The wood in the foreground was left after grandmother tree was cut down.)  You can see her stump in profile to the left of the dumpster)

But wait, I just took a picture that also spells out danger...of another kind.

I lifted (carefully) the cover of the main electric box on the outside of my house...to find this lovely  wasp or hornet nest (the round protruding object stuck just below the switches).  No insects at this moment, but the sunny day had lots flying around the building.  I carefully closed the cover, and went inside.
