This is why...

This verse is why even in the midst of all we’ve been dealing with we’ve been able to just keeping moving forward and not be needlessly worried about any of it. We know God will deal with whatever hard things come up. 

New Roofing Material

The new roofing material has arrived. We went with a 40 year shingle because of all the companies miscommunication about the metal roofing system. It was going to cause us more problems than it was worth to put on. We are happy with the decision and looking forward to moving forward and getting this roof done. 

Homeschool 2020-2021 Has Begun

T started 6th grade today. We made the move from workbooks to all online schooling with the Monarch Curriculum through AOP. 

He likes the new online curriculum that he’s using so much that he wanted to get started on tomorrow’s work tonight. Should’ve made the move to online from workbooks long ago. Who’d have known he’d like it so much?!?! 

Here’s a pic of him with his new laptop:

Roof Saga...

 Well, this has been so difficult from the very start of when the roofers came to confirm instructions.  We did research and found things out that we weren't entirely comfortable with concerning the roof.  So to make a long story short we have decided to do away with the metal roof and we have went with a 40 year shingle roof.  There were too many issues with the metal roof that we were uncomfortable with to address in a blog post but we are happy with what we've chosen to do. It has been a crazy and stressful 7 days and something good shouldn't cause this much stress.  Just glad we are finally feeling better about things and we are saving money to boot.  The metal concept is a good one but it's just not a good one to do with this particular company that we've been dealing with is all.  So we will post more when we have some real results to post.  

Weather

This is what we will be dealing with the rest of the today and tomorrow. 

Roof Saga...

Well it’s been raining or storming off and on since yesterday evening. While we had a moment of no rain we started checking things out to see what or if we are taking on water damage because of the job being left like it was yesterday before the rain hit. Here’s what the roof looks like from the outside.

This is the water damage we are taking on because of how they left things yesterday. This first picture is a crawl space. 

This second picture is where our dinning room and stairway are. 


We tried to call the company to let them know what we are dealing with here because there’s more rain to come this afternoon into the evening and possibly into tomorrow. We are documenting everything incase we need it. 

Rain Rain Go Away!!!

It’s been pouring the rain for most of the evening but so far things are staying dry. All this rain has me a little concerned😬 just because we have no gutters right now and because a portion of the roof doesn’t have any real protection on it. But I know God has our back and will take care of whatever comes. We’ve been under a flood advisory for most of the evening. The advisory is supposed to end at 10:45pm. I’m hoping with the advisory goes the rain as well. Crazy weather and crazy times as well. Dealing with getting this roof done has been a challenge and I will be so glad when it’s finished but while we are in the midst of getting it done I’m praying God’s protection over our home to keep us safe, sound, and healthy. Thank you God for always having our backs no matter what may come. 

Roof Saga...

Well when they left today they left the roof like this:

Now we have a thunderstorm going on and a ton of lightning play. I took pictures of T’s ceiling in his room just incase we are to have any leaks. We just remodeled his room in November so if any damage happens to it we will have a record of how it looked before the rain storms this evening. 

As you see there are no water stains on his room ceiling. This is being posted just to have a record and date stamp. 

Roof Saga...

Progress was made today. 

Roofing Saga...

Well they showed back up today. They have begun taking off the roof. They are getting so much more done today than in days prior. Now we are praying it doesn’t rain on them. It has been so overcast today but the sun has peaked out.
