OUR CREW AND THE NEW ROOF


The finished roof looks really nice



Eli worked up on the roof with the men most of the day - he loves to help


Matthew holding a washtub so they can throw torn off shingles in it




everyone was snarfing down pizza and enjoying the break



even grandma Tucker got in on the fun at the table above

the guys hit the hot tub to help the aches and pains - they really don't look to miserable


We were supposed to start tearing off the old shingles and begin putting new shingles on Thursday but as most know, it was raining so the work was delayed until Friday. Our son John and sons-in-law Phil, Johnny, Damon, and Greg came for the weekend to do the work for us. It was a cold weekend and we were a day short but they were able to get it done. We had to call in some extra help to tear off and are grateful for the willingness of the Garrett men and Nick Staib to come and help. Of course a few grandchildren helped as well. We appreciate our kids and all they do to help and especially on this roof project. Thanks guys!

  1. It’s nice to see the children trying their best to give some little help in home improvement, but don’t you think it’s quite dangerous for Eli to be on the roof? Well, if there are people looking after him, I guess that would be okay. Anyway, the new roof looks fantastic! Don’t forget to clean and maintain it so it will last through the years to come.

  2. Looks like you had lots of helpers in roof replacement that even little Eli contributed some help. I love the color of the finished roof. The effort and hard work of the people who tried to help definitely paid off. Good job, guys!

  3. Hi there! How is the roof now, almost 3 years after it has been installed? I hope it is still in good condition. Just make sure that you regularly maintain it to prevent damage or costly repairs. Keep blogging!
