Wanted: Cubit-Engish, Cubit-Metric conversions, Ark Plans

[JM]

All,

We have had so much _^&*&@(*#@# rain here it is ridiculous. At least 3 landslides in the area, the Mon is flooding (as usual), and now our one chimney is bleeding. Apparently the people who "repaired" the flashing did not do such a hot job.

Later,
JM

3. I'm doing my part

I turned off the heat for my swimming pool.:evilgrin:

I only turned it on for holiday visitors. It's been a nice, balmy 80 degrees in the Tampa area. I sure miss the Cleveland weather. But, I'll console myself with a motorcycle ride down to Clearwater Beach for lunch.:party:

:toast:

4. All together now: Henry 209 ElastoMastic

It comes in a caulking tube and it's just the thing for fixing flashing.

5. Okay, basic plans

6:14
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

6:15
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

A cubit is roughly 18 inches, so you're looking at a ship about 450 feet long by 75 feet wide, and about 45 feet high.

Oh, and don't forget the 18" window for ventilation:

6:16
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

And, no, I don't know what "gopher wood" is.
