A NEW ROOF AND GOOD HELP


We intended to start working on our roof on Thursday but what was forecasted several days ago as 40% chance of rain turned into 70% chance and it rained off and on a good part of the day Thursday.
Our son John and our sons-in-law(Damon, Phil, Greg, & Johnny) are now(Friday) working on roofing our home and hoping to beat the chance of nasty weather on Saturday afternoon. They have 2 layers of shingles to tear off and then the new ones to put on. And yes, Rog is up there working right with them as well as several of our grandsons. Eli(5 yrs.) was up there most of the day and believe it or not, he did help a lot. Of course great grandma is keeping her shades pulled in case anyone comes flying off the roof - it all makes her a little nervous.

This morning they delivered the shingles and even used a conveyor belt to get them up on the roof , since we needed to save all the man power we could.

They are hoping to get done tomorrow but we will have to wait and see. Everyone is sleeping soundly already tonight so I'm sure they were all exhausted.
We appreciate that our kids are so willing to help and pray that everyone stays safe throughout the process.
