The Roof Came Tumbling Down!

Mom and Dad's roof on their house has needed to be redone for a little while now, so on Aug 7th we all showed up ready to help take off the old roof. The morning started off overcast, but the sun decided to shine through a little later to make it hot and miserable on top of the house. All of the guys were on top scraping, Bryan drove the bobcat, and the girls picked up shingles, nails, and what other debris fell from the roof.
Austin was probably the only guy on the roof that actually enjoyed it! I wasn't at all surprised.


These guys worked so hard all day long! It was so much harder than it looks, and harder than I thought it would be. Mom and Dad really appreciated all the support and hard work that everyone gave them.
New roof! My cousin Blair and his son came and put on the new roof a few days later.




The house looks great and is all ready for the winter months ahead.

Maybe it isn't such a bad thing to live so far away:) I'm sure Mom and Dad really appreciated all the help. Can't wait to see it in 9 weeks.

Seeing this house makes me so homesick. Oh all the memmories that come flooding back! Tell your mom and dad I love and miss them!
