Wow! That's all I can say about everything that's been happening over here! Nick and his dad have been working almost non-stop on our big roofing project this week, (while still working their full time jobs as well!), and things are progressing nicely. Earlier in the week the back porch was completely ripped down and then framed in. Thursday they started prepping the roof and realized things were in worse condition than we had originally thought. This led to an unexpected trip to Lowes for sheeting and then a mad scramble to get shingles ripped out and the new sheeting put in place. Potluck dropped off the roll-away we rented Thursday night and our yard really started looking like a construction site!
Friday morning things got kicked off with a pancake breakfast and then it was work time with getting fascia up. We are so blessed to have friends and family who showed up at 8am and stayed ALL day helping us out! And then some who came after work, ready to help out into the evening.
Late afternoon Standale Lumber's big truck pulled into Lamont with our roofing supplies and a pettibone. Let the shingling begin! Friday was a long, exhausting day but a lot has been accomplished and we're heading into Saturday on schedule.
A Fun Fact: the roofing size of the two wings, 3-season porch and back porch is larger than the entire roof area of our old house! We definitely upgraded in size with our new house!
