Good morning to all the Cowboys and Patriots.... 
A new day has arrived..... The sun is peeking above the mountains...
Only 41°F right now..... forecast is for a high of 67°F. Right now the humidity is rather high at 82%. Winds are very light, I am sure it will increase as the day continues.
Today I start getting the plywood sheathing cut and inplace. I'll get the insulation in some areas first. Another area I'll put in the insulation from the inside.
Still a bunch to do.... But, the pull out the rotted wood phase is done. The rebuild the structure phase is done.
The POD:
Get started early today....
Insulation in the cavities that can only be accessed from the outside.
Cut and apply the 5mm plywood sheathing. This will be glued and nailed in place. 18 ga brad nails.
Maybe List:
Work on grass trimming, it is rather tall.
Dinner planned:
Taco Tuesday
Enjoy this fine day that the Lord has given us.....

Howdy Gents.......
Hey Bud.... I slaved today. Got started after 0800. Quit about 1800..... Had a lunch break of about 30+ minutes..... Played ball with Heidi a total of 20 minutes...
Taco Tuesday happened about 1845... Then I had to get to the voting place and vote in the primary.
BAD News...... I noticed that the fridge in the kitchen was making a loud noise. Appears that it died. Moved freezer stuff down stairs to the large deep freezer. The fridge stuff will get moved in the morning.
This really sucks.....
I did get a bunch done on the TT..... All the sheathing is in place with foam insulation in the walls....
There is some interior wall plywood to put up and some original wall paneling to put back in place.....
Still a bunch to accomplish.......
I hope tomorrow (Wednesday) will be good weather.....
Getting close to Midnight......

Bummer about the refrigerator, Roy. Maybe one can follow you home from the toy store.....I keep getting emails from that "other store" about the warranty expiring on my GE fridge. Don't have a GE.
There is an old one that was here in this house when we bought it over 20 years ago. (think it's 1980 + vintage) Looks like crap but, still going strong.

Welcome to a new day of fun for all us Cowboys and Patriots....
Feet hit the deck and I took a look outside to see if it was raining..... No rain = No rest for this old sailor. I was hoping for rain...
I think you are right on Sailor Bud... I don't see any rain for a number of days.
Not sure what the POD is ??
Have to do something about the fridge..... Replace or call a repair guy ??
I need to continue work on the TT....
Or..... Go back to bed....
I know...... Bud, you come out here and take care of the fridge problem. George, you come out here and take care of lawn duties. I'll work on the TT.....
Later my friends...... Enjoy a great day

Bud, if I knew Roy's CC number.........I'd order one for him.
This might be a good one.

Howdy guys......
George...... Our fridge is just a little newer than your Ice Box. It has to be plugged in to power. Has a cooling unit on top.
Been working on the fridge....
Found that the evaporator fans were not running. Cured that problem. Still not getting cold ?? Not sure if the compressor was running. Cleaned the connectors and I can feel a slight vibration. Not so sure that I hear anything other than the fans.
Going to give a little time to see if any cold is happening.....
I visited a local appliance store..... Found a great replacement on sale for a little less than $1800. Have not checked HD yet. I do like the local Ma & Pa store with its own service department.
Already 1530..... Don't think the TT is going to see any attention today.......
