Cats.. we have had cats in m y lifetime here…. Barn cats…. Mostlty that just moved in…. there were more feral cats 20 or 30 years ago then there are now so I just basically ignored cats and they worked on the rodents in the barn and other than that seemed perfectly happy in the hayloft ----- but they are trouble…. firstly they do carry fleas--- Secondly they had children in the hayloft and as the kittens began to run around a kitten would fall down the partition between the wall and the outside texture 111 and we would hear this mewing and howling then it became a federal project to figure out exactly where the kitten was and how we could carve a hole in the texture 111 above the kitten and there and reach in and get it out---- which we did many times I dare say dozens of times-- consequently the bottom part of the barn a lot of holes of it but did let the water in and is now rotting… looks awful and we want to replace the bottom 4 feet of texture 111 .. a volunteer started to get the project going and ordered the T1-11 and is that in the Gtent for too long and people began to use it for other projects .. a few of the four by 8 sheets did get cut in half so we have some half sheets and some full sheets but not enough to do the job .. somebody else decided they needed painting so bought the paint not quite the same color… but purple…. and painted them but not enough of them ..in in preparation for replacing the bottom 4 feet of the barn I made all those little dog house tunnels to really shape the whole place up .. and all the whole project just sits.
I thought we were waiting for some kind of flashing the go between the existing T111 and these 4 foot patches .. I just assumed somebody else was in charge of this project it ignored the whole thing . but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere and winter is coming .. we probably have not more than two or three nice days ahead of us to replace the bottom of the barn which shouldn't take very long .. but I just didn't know about this flashing between the T1-11 .. after spending about 1/2 an hour now on line what I imagine we need seems to be called Z flashing .. that's certainly the shape we need and I started to order some but now I've heard but whoever ordered the original texture t 111 has a supply of it stashed as in hidden somewhere here so that nobody used it ..
Having got the feeding tables done I looked at that collection of texture 111 and figured we better get going .. in my mind and not physically doing anything I figured we'd stretch the string log the barn at 4 feet and then run the skilsaw along the line at the depth of that extra T111 which is probably 3 eights .. and my ancient and honorable skilsaw died yesterday ..
\ so now we need a new skill saw.. all because of cats…… and I still have not located the z flashing on the property.. but I found the kind of string that does not stretch -------Such is crazy acres …
