Nail Pops

Well the new roofers are doing a bang up job. Much better than the other roofers but we found this in T’s newly renovated bedroom tonight🤦🏻‍♀️.

A zoomed in photo. Not sure 🤔 what they did because that’s a nail head sticking through. 

It came from them putting the new facia on somehow but how????

New Roofers

The new contractors are getting more done in a couple of hours than the other contractors did in 14days. Woohoo🙌!!!  Almost all of the old roof is off and getting ready for underlayment. This crew is one of the best crews this company has and it shows in their knowledge and in their work. Very happy to be moving forward. 


They are getting so much more done. Excitement is building because we are finally getting the work done. 

Roof Saga...

We met with the Manager of the company yesterday afternoon and he got to see first hand all we’ve been texting him and telling him. 14 days into a roofing job and he saw how little had been done and the shoddy work that had been done as well. He was very apologetic to us. They are bringing another crew in on Friday to get this job done right. It’s a crew that has had zero complaints from any of the clients they’ve done work for so we feel much better about things. Our complaint all along hasn’t been the company but the contractors in regards to the work being done. The company has worked well with us and given us free upgrades and a double rebate back for all the troubles we’ve had. They are going to take care of the water damage to the inside of house from where the contractors did not cover our roof like they should have been doing. We came away from the conversation with the manager feeling much much better about things and feel confident that we will have our roof finally on before the weekend is out. They may need to button up things such as gutters and the vinyl soffit once the roof is on but that won’t take much. We are excited about this finally getting done. The crew that is coming is one of the companies best crews. They are a traveling crew and they help get work done in trouble spots. It looks like they are going to be taking over all of the contractor that we had previously jobs.  So thankful our conversation with the manager went so well and he is working with us on getting this completed. Can’t wait to be able to post and show the job actually getting done😁. 

My Nephew, His Wife, and their baby Serenity

So glad to see this family together and Serenity completely healthy. So totally excited for them. 

My nephew, Daniel, his wife, Elizabeth, and their first born Serenity. She’s so precious. 

My nephews and nieces keep making me a great aunt.  Such incredibly beautiful children too. I don’t always get to get such great pictures like these I’m showing you now. Of course my nephew did things right. He got married then had a child. All my other nephews/nieces on my families side have kids but aren’t married to their kids momma/daddy.  

Homeschooling

T is enjoying doing homeschool online so much better than doing it from workbooks. It’s challenging for him doing all the quizzes that go along with this new curriculum that we are using but he will get the hang of it and do much better as he adjusts more and more to doing it all online. 

The beauty in how we are doing school is I can plug in non-school days and the curriculum automatically makes the adjustments needed for spreading out the work load for those off days.  It’s makes being able to do trips more doable without being concerned about his schoolwork. 

Scot and I have both been able to be more involved with helping him with his schoolwork this year. I think T is really enjoying both of our involvement this year. He’s getting undivided attention from both of his parents. 

The curriculum likes to throw in a bunch of extra work and I may make adjustments where that’s concerned. As long as it’s not being too repetitive, and I know that T already has a good understanding of what he’s doing, I probably won’t make him do a ton of extra work. There won’t be a need for it if he has a good handle on it. 

So glad we made this switch and I’m wishing we had made this move a lot sooner than we did. We wouldn’t have struggled as much as we had been struggling these past couple of years had we have made the switch sooner. But what’s done is done and we are moving forward having a much happier homeschool experience this year with me loosing less hair from me pulling it out....LOL! 

Roofing Saga...

And theses are the days of our lives....

We’ve been trying the meet with the manager but of the roofing company all week to discuss all the issues. He can’t even be on time for an 8am appointment that he set with us. Scot can’t wait around for these people because we have our own company to run where we actually show up when we say we will to our clients. No wonder this companies crew is the way they are. Look at the example they have to follow🙄. They have got to show up when they say they will. This is two mornings we’ve been told we will be there at 8am to discuss everything. Wish people would be where they say they are going to be at the time they say they are going to be there. Scot is trying his best to deal with this company politely but they sure do make it hard. At least the roof has tarp on it now so I feel better about that. However long it takes at some point we’ll have this meeting and move forward and get our roof done. 

Washing Machine

We hated the washer we bought about a month ago.  We tried and tried to get used to it and like it but couldn’t so we traded it in for this GE model that does much better than the Whirlpool we had got. It’s more noisy but at least it works the way we want it to. We are much happier with this unit. 

Roof Saga...

We called an attorney over the weekend. Got some sound advice.  We have another company coming out to put tarp on our open roof incase it rains because the company we hired still hasn’t come out and put a tarp on like we have asked them to do and they said they would do. So that will be money out of our pockets for having another company come out to put tarp on.  Roof currently looks like this:
We are supposed to have rain possibly tonight and are trying to avoid any more damage to our home because of this company. Praise the Lord for connections in the service industry because we are able to go buy the tarp and get this other company we know to put it on for us. Our house water tight for now because of the other company. 

Can’t believe the crazy times we are living in that we’ve had to deal with such nonsense from this roofing company and their contracted roofers. 

Btw, check out the differences in the old drip edge vs. the new. 

Roof Saga...

Well we took on more water with the rain last night. We have wet insulation in our crawl space. We also have a new water spot on our dining room ceiling. No telling what other water damage we may have that we can’t see.  

This entire time that we’ve been dealing with this company the roofers have never arrived before 10am to go to work. I’ve never known roofers like this at all. I’m concerned about the other damage that is happening to our home because of their lack of professionalism in getting this job done in a timely manner. Today makes 11 days since the initial start of this project. 

Roof Saga...

When you’ve had a roof replaced how long has it taken the roofers to put the new roof on?  Just asking because we are about to be on day 14 on Tuesday and from the start of this project there was miscommunication between the sales rep to their employer and then to the roofers about what we had asked to be done for our roof. Then their was misinformation about the product we chose so we decided to nix the product and just go back to 40 year shingles which they delivered the very next morning. And now the roofers left the ridge vent over our sons room that we just recently renovated uncovered and it’s raining again. I’m so over this roof job and just want it done. Now all we can do is sit and pray God’s protection over the roof and our sons newly renovated room. And ask that you pray with us that no more damage happens to our home. Thank you.
