Studs on a Roof (or "A Manly Work Party")

I am the lucky bachelorette who came home the other day to 5 Studs on My Roof. The neighborhood Stud Ring Leader, Mecho, had organized a Very Manly Work Party of neighborhood studs to build me a new tin roof awning over the Airstream, since the old crap-hole of an awning finally collapsed once and for all under the duress of the July rains. Beer was flowing at the Manly Work party, friendly banter was being slung, all manners of drills were fired up, and songs were being sung. I dug a post hole and them mostly tried to stay out of the studs way, just making sure that each stud had a cold beer in his vicinity at all times and that there were snacks to eat. Mecho, Todd and Greg arrived first (I think), and later Mecho said, "I was worried we'd get finished before everyone was here and we wouldn't get to hang out." Well, that didn't happen and the studs DID get to hang out, and it seemed they enjoyed each other's company just fine....
When they were finished, I stepped back to look at it and said, "This place really looks like an establishment now." The next morning Susie came up to see it, and, not knowing that I had said the same thing said, "This place really looks like an establishment now." Hmmm

This kind of thing really makes me WISH I were a WNC resident. My neighbors across the street wouldn't even say hello to me, much less help me out in any way. Then here is the lady who is 97.5% of the time bending over...
