AHHHHHHHHHHHH. There is life out there.
Thanks all for chiming in. Spent last two days on Honey-Doo list. heeheee Got a tarp-hut up for a garage for Mommie's car.
AND, got a new roof (or partial roof) on the garage, thanks to my Grandson Steve and his friends. I took a long strip of leftover tarp and folded it multiple times and duct taped it, then hauled it on over the peak, hopefully this will prevent the chafing that has worn out the top of my last to roofs!
Then I put on a 24' by 40' tarp that I've had for a while, added ropes on the sides to hold it so it won't flop around in the wind so much, and stapled the ends to the wood. Soon I will get a bundle of banking lathes and fasten the end down proper. Old winter winds really howl up here, especially when we get a Northeaster storm. Later on I am going to get a full cover to pull on over the whole garage, and then nail it down all around. WHEW. Now I can put away my rain catchers!
