New ROOF!!!

 
Well we can officially say we have a NEW ROOF!!. I can't believe how well it went. We had an amazing crew that literally busted it out. They worked soooo hard that they even had time for a nap on Saturday before dinner.
 
We even got to have a little sleepover with my niece, Gwynn and my nephew, Payton. Such rascals but Gwynn did a great job helping feed all the hungry workers. I can't believe how big/old she is getting.

 The last section got a little tight with everyone trying to get it finished
 Literally butt to butt

 Our AMAZING neighbor came over to take the "Crew" photo

 
 
We can't thank everyone enough for all their help. We couldn't have done it without you!!
 
Gutters our scheduled for Thursday, so I will get some pictures up after that too.
 
LUVS to everyone that helped make this happen. Hopefully you got enough to get and beer to drink

Roofing Part 1 - Tear Off

 
Wow!!! What a whirl-wind of a weekend.... Our 4th of July weekend was not all relaxing and sunbathing. Though, we did do a night of camping up near Indian Heaven/ Mt Adams area, went golfing and saw a movie. We also started our roofing project.
 
We had TONS of help from the Cooley boys, Scotty and my parents. If it weren't for these people, we'd have a lot of work on our hands. The boys got all the roofing off by lunch time, tar-paper up and new gutter flashing and fascia. Adam brought up Tony's SWEET dump truck to haul everything to the dump.
 
My mom and Sheila even helped keep things cleaned up (that didn't make it into the truck) and cooking. The boys definitely ate well.

Look at all those hard workers

 
Thanks Sheila - we worked and got lots of chatting in :)


 
We even got on the ROOF!

I couldn't believe how hard these boys worked and how much they got done. Thank you everyone for all your help. We have Crew #2 coming this weekend to help with the shingles. I can't believe how different our house looks already. Hopefully I can put on a spread just as good as last weekend. I have to keep my workers fueled up!!
