Had a hankering for pasta tonight, so it was penne regate with marinara, sweet & hot sausage, meatballs, and garlic toast. The sausage cooked up nicely in the with minimal supervision. It really hit the spot!

Looks good. I almost went to pasta tonight too but instead...cheese and crackers and pistachios. Tomorrow may be pasta day?

@FireMonkey You know- cheese, crackers, and pistachios are good in my book any day but tonight the pasta was calling and I had some sausage that needed cooking. How's PR treating you so far?

@Ironworker229
I've got a bunch of mini projects done and today I power washed the roof and the patio all day - preparing to pour leveler on the roof in the next little bit and that is so that I have a substrate for tile. Apart from that short visit to the beach and visits to good food I just picked up a couple tacos I have a meeting in about 15 minutes that I plan to be silent and unseen in order to eat them.

@FireMonkey Hah! Progress, beach, and tacos for the win! What's your roof substrate, plywood? What kind of tile are you going with?

@Ironworker229
6"of concrete. It was never sealed or finished to my knowledge. And this is the second power wash. It's very much a rough roof. But it's lovely up there. So knocking the tops off the high spots. And pouring leveler will give me a nice surface to work on. And I think it's a project I can do in bite sizes of about 6 ft by 7 ft or 40 square feet.

@FireMonkey Oh, nice! That looks like a great spot! Have you settled on the tile, yet? Something similar to what's at the bottom of the pic?

@Ironworker229
Sanded 16x16 rock cobble style. No slips! Similar to this on the ground level entry terazza.

@FireMonkey 16x16 - sweet! Nice that it has some physical as well as visual texture, for sure.

@Ironworker229
Access is interesting, but it will be sweet finished with tile. 90°F in the shade under the fan ain't bad. There's usually breezes too.

@FireMonkey The spiral is a classic for squeezing a stair into a small spot and much better than a ladder! Maybe you could rig up a 2 person cable elevator! That space looks awesome, though it could maybe use a bar?😆

@Ironworker229
I have a mini fridge, portable propane bbq grill, & gas burner, for the outdoor kitchen. Still to come; sink, and this U shaped butcher block top I just acquired from a friend may come in useful...looks like a bar to me.🍻

Just running between the raindrops ☔
Literally. It's been raining so much. If I didn't get wet I wouldn't get anything done. Last outburst this afternoon I grabbed the mop and mopped down my truck which was covered with cat prints, pigeon poop, and dirt, while it poured.

@FireMonkey You're making me jealous! We haven't had measurable rain for months around here and it just cracked 110 today. Enjoy the outdoor showers!
