Snow in Georgia—Stranded in Robertstown
Headed up to Helen on Saturday during the major snow event of the last past years — most would laugh at the idea - less than 2 inches. But it did not stop anyone from buying milk and bread and not going to work. I braved it and got up about noon or so. It was very cold but nice to see the snow on the square. Met Jim and settled up with the first payment on the demo. We sat in my truck (with the lights on) for about a half an hour or so and went over what he and his crew had done. Then we took a tour and reviewed a few trouble spots on the block that might need some attention. Actually it looked good with no additional damage that I could see. He used a lot of heavy lumber to shore it up — I hope we can find some use for it in the building stage. He has been sending me a few pictures via email and this is one from the cherry picker he is using to pull off the roof.
I got ready to go and jumped in the truck —clik, click. Dead battery! I went to three houses around the square and no one was home. Finally caught Mr. Elrod coming in from the store and he gave me a jump and I headed back to the ATL.
