Progress

We love seeing progress being made to the roof. This crew had all the tools the other crew didn’t. They are a professional crew and not hacks like the crew we had before were. 

This tool in the pic below lifted all the shingles to the top of the roof. Check it out and the video. 

They are three man team today getting the job done with being two men short because something they ate last night at a cuban restaurant made them throwing up sick. Even with it just being a three man team they are getting the job done. So glad this crew is here and the other crew is history. That other crew shouldn’t be working on no ones roof. They were doing the job with excellence or professionalism. These have been very professional and doing their job with excellence. Can’t say enough good things about what we are seeing from them. 

So thankful to God for working it all out because it’s His house. His property. We are just caretakers of it.  

Roof Challenges Again

The crew has been fighting rain today. The other crew would’ve quit and came back another day but this crew got the rest of the facia up and a whole row of shingles. Tomorrow has a clear weather forecast. They will have this roof done tomorrow. So loving the progress they are making compared to the 14 days of hardly anything done (and done wrong) by the other crew. 

Castle Grey shingles l👀k great😁!!!  Can’t wait until they are all on the roof😊. 

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.
