Happy International TaeKwonDo Day!!!

Getting Ready...

T will be training for AAU’s Virtual Poomsae National Event on October 24th from now until the time of the event to get his Poomsae as strong as possible for this event. Last year T brought home a Bronze from Nationals in Poomsae. This year he is hoping to bring home another medal and he’s hoping and striving for Gold. With Master Amy helping him from our home Dojang, Black Belt World, he can reach his goal. Master Amy is great at teaching Poomsae (also known as forms). 

Master Amy videos him and goes over what he’s done and needs improvement on with him. And together they make the needed correction(s). 

Roof Is Done!!!

The second roof crew is officially done. They’d have been done sooner but ran out of materials and then they had two rain spells to contend with on top of fixing things the first crew done wrong. So all in all this crew made up for all the junk and had a great attitude and got it done. 

Now we wait to get the gutter guy out here to do the vinyl soffit and gutters. Plus we also wait for getting all the water issues dealt with inside the house. Some of which will require insulation replacement.

But at least the biggest part of the job is done and no more water will enter the home from the roof😊. We had a down pour last night with flash flood warnings and no new leaks. Woohoo🙌!!!  

ServPro Appointment

ServPro came out this morning and there is still water in our home. They will be working up an estimate and emailing it to us and then we submit it to the roofing company. Now we wait and pray that no mold is growing because T and I are allergic to mold. T is even more allergic than I am. 

ServPro Comes In the Morning

ServPro deals with water damage in homes. We have them coming in the morning to see how much water damage might need to be dealt with because of the rain getting in when the roof was uncovered for so long from the first contractors who were working on our roof. It rained today so the second contractors didn’t get to button up the rest of the roof (putting on facia vinyl...etc.). It sure is nice to have the roof on though and to know that we are protected from the elements now. 

One Entire Side Done, Other Side Almost

The crew got the entire front side done in about two hours. They are taking a lunch break and coming back and doing all they can until they run out on the back side and then they’ll be back at it in the morning to button everything up and get it finished. For all this crew has had to deal with from all the other crew did wrong they are making great progress. If they hadn’t had to fix so much that the other crew had done wrong they would be about done with the entire roof by now. 

Here’s how much of the back side they got done. 

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.
