It's Not Supposed to Rain in Phoenix!!!

We got up on Friday morning and before we could even start work, it was raining. It was bad enough fighting the record cold temperatures all week, but RAIN??? The rain continued all day Friday and into Saturday morning. By noon the rain stopped, but it was damp enough that we were not able to get any work done. Sunday morning we got up and installed the trim around the edge of the roof in about an hour. Then, the skies began to turn dark and before we knew it, the rain was coming down again. We got soaked trying to get the tarp pulled up and covering the roof. We placed blocks up top and bungee corded sacks with firewood to hold the corners down. So much for finishing up the shed this weekend.
