Today the roofers arrived with their equipment and materials.
The yard is full of their STUFF.
Dan actually took some pictures of it!
Dan tells me they have already torn off one side, put up tar paper and begun shingling. When they tore off the old shingles, they found out there was not tar paper under the shingles. Perhaps it is a blessing the shingles blew off in the storm?!
Dan went to his men's group this morning then did some running around. One thing he did was get my car and have the oil changed. Then he picked up flooring samples at Lumber Liquidators. He brought home quite a few to show me - AND we have picked one. I'd show you a picture, but you know how color is on here - poor! So we'll wait til we either have the flooring or have it installed to show you. (Plus, I don't have a picture of it to download right now!)
He also hooked up some more lights. For the first time since wiring was removed in the stairway, we have lights there. Can I just say, it will be nice not to have to feel my way down the stairs every morning!
He has also been putting coat after coat on the walls in the entry/stairway.
We are almost ready for the pillars. His dad built bases for them. I think I'll probably wash, sand and paint them Thanksgiving Day. He may go hunting either that day or Friday. I'd like to get them painted and ready to install.
Last night I went over and watched Mindi and Seth's kids for awhile. Here they are.
Ok, gotta turn in soon.
Workin' tomorrow again. That means Dan has to get all the food ready. He doesn't mind, and actually likes doing it. We just assembed the ingredients for Lime Pear Delight. It is a lime jello with pineapple (instead of pears) and cream cheese. It has become a family favorite. My mom used to make it for Sunday lunch. We now incorporate it into a lot of our holidays.
Tick, tick, tick....it is getting late. Gotta go.
