IIRC, all that info was written by me on every work order, so, unless they gave me pens with ink that disolves, it should still be there.... oh, forgot, human nature, easy way out > ask him he knows . .  ;D
That's a little bit naive, thinking that someone is actually going to think for themselves when the "techspert" is just a phone call away. ;-)  The problem now is we are all too easily contactable, how did people cope in the good ol' days before mobile phones? (yes some of us here would remember those days).

I remember those days . . . but, they just call me because, once the vehicle is taken out of operations is sold and the paperwork shoved and stored in some dark, moist and dusty place and the ladies who need to keep track of these things don't want to to there . . . so they call me and go like this "Mr. Carlos, do you by any chance remember that situation when you said you would not turn in the vehicle because the part installed did not comply with 'your[mine]' standards?" I simply say, " it's all in the workorder, I must be getting old, cannot remember what I had for lunch today[while still 0900h]"

btw, morning to you and ung ... .  evening to the rest . . .

Remind me again what a soffit is...

A soffit is pretty much what Dave said...part of the roof overhang.

No...

we pulled a few screws out of the roof and screwed blocks into the furring and the screwed a 2x4 to the blocking.

Like I said...it's a dance floor. ;D

We have one 8' piece of soffit to do, we already installed the soffit on the long rake, and then we'll side above the porch roof line and roof the porch.

Then all the work left outside will be down low, which I can do mostly alone or with help from peeps that can't, or don't want to climb. Plenty to do inside.

With that...I'm going to bed.I just pulled a tick off my neck and I was out there for 10 hours today...I'm done. ;D

I hope to be done with the siding up high by next week.

That will be a relief.
