We are planning a trip to Atlantic City today. We want to check out the famous boardwalk and see how the casinos compare to Vegas.
Rita, to answer your question, I have probably been up on top about a dozen times over the year and (almost) a half we have owned it. It isn’t hard. There’s a ladder that hangs off the back and as long as I remember to keep hold of the rails 100% of the time, climbing it isn’t bad. The roof is slightly rounded, but as long as it is dry there’s no problem. In order to remove those two brackets, I laid down on my stomach and only my head and arms were over the side. I do have Michael spot for me whenever I’m on that ladder so I can land on him if I lose my hand hold.
The good news is that the repair guy came out yesterday to take a look at what we need, and he figured out that we don’t need to replace the entire mirror assembly. He is ordering only the two mirror panels that will fit into the undamaged frame and it will save us a couple of hundred dollars. He is also very familiar with the damaged slide cover brackets and will be able to replace them with no problem. He’s waiting to hear from his parts distributor and doesn’t see any major delay in getting them. We may get out of here on time yet!
Yesterday was only about 85, and in the late afternoon cooled off enough to open up the windows and air out for a while. It made it damper in here, but the fresh air felt so good. Today is only supposed to get up to 80, and tomorrow we’re expecting rain.
The repair guy (Joe) gave us the names and addresses of a few wineries in the area, so we thought we’d go check those out tomorrow.
Good morning, Vagabonds.
