A New Roof

What a BIG JOB!!  We aren’t finished yet but we are working on it.  Thank you so much to our wonderful, dedicated and kind helpers!  A few pics from the past week…

Jason, Brent (one of Jason’s buddies) and Jimmy (my brother) tearing off the old roof.  After we pulled the records at city hall, we discovered that the shingles on our garage roof were probably FORTY years old!  No wonder they were crumbling.
