Our Roof Is Tops!

10 years ago,

On New Years Day

a group of men

(the Elders Quorum from our old ward)

showed up and spent the day

putting a new roof on our house.

This year

On New Years Day

Rod spent the day

(and the previous week)

TRYING to replace the

flat roof on our patio.

But it kept raining!

And raining!

And raining!

We FINALLY got some good weather.

And some help.

Scott, Jim, Kyle and Rod

spent several days

tearing off the old roof

and putting up new plywood,

layers of tar paper

and a special paper

and shingles

and stuff.

(I don't do ladders, so I'm

a little fuzzy on the details...)

It was leaking onto the patio right outside

our pretty french doors.

But also leaking into the tack room

right above the chest freezer.

Rod was hoping to just do some patching.

But it turned out to be a "thing" and

required LOTS and LOTS of work.

*and $$$

It was a little worse than we thought.

Thankfully the guys got good weather

and had the tools and time they needed.

It went from all torn up

to fancy tar paper stuff

To beautiful shingle roll stuff.

(those are technical words...)

New edges to keep the water off.

And finally nice finishing fascia.

(right, Rod?)

It POURED all day yesterday.

Rod was back on the ladder with his

flashlight and worried face.

NOT A DRIP!!!!!

MY HERO!
