A Set of Stairs

Well, we got one set of stairs in place minus the railings. Those will come later. Scot and T did a great job. 

I threw a picture of Tucker enjoying the sunshine as a bonus. He loves to be in the sun. 

Update on the Roof Crew

Well, they sent a couple of guys out to fix the drip edge issues. As usual there have been challenges once again.  We came up with a solution that doesn’t mean tearing down the gutters that were just installed🙄. The gutters have been one of the best parts of the job so far. I just want it all buttoned up and protected so we can continue to move forward. So glad we figured out what to do so that we could get the drip edge fixed.  So ready to be done with all this. While they work we are still continuing work on rebuilding our deck. I’ll be glad to get all the boards on and look forward to when we can paint/stain the deck😁. 

Still Waiting on Roof Crew

When the gutter crew had to redo the facia wood and facia wrap in order to install the gutters they damaged the drip edge. We’ve been waiting for the roof crew to come and fix the drip edge for over a week now. They were supposed to be here at 11:30am and it’s now 1:04pm and they still aren’t here. Such has been life with getting this roof done. Plus we are still waiting on the remedial crew to come and take care of the damage on the inside of our home from the roof being open to the elements for so long with no work getting done. Oh how we are looking forward to the day when everything is fixed and back to what it was before we started this process of getting a new roof put on. What a glorious day it will be when it’s all done. 

Deck Challenge

Well we went to take off our first set of stairs to find we are going to have to get more wood. The casing for the stairs is all going to need replacing. We can put new screws in them. Plus several are cracked on the sides. 

Fun in the Sun

Tucker loves laying on the new deck boards in the sun. 

Oh to be a dog. They have such easy lives. 

Deck Work So Far

Here’s all we got done on the deck rebuild yesterday. 

The boys got almost half of the deck completed yesterday. T worked hard with his dad all day yesterday. I love that he enjoys learning how to do things from his dad. 

Back Door Is On

Got the new back door on today. It took a little longer than we had anticipated but hey it’s done. All that’s left is some touch ups. We’ll get to that at some point...LOL!  Tomorrow we do some more work on the deck. 

Oh My Goodness😳

T has grown so much that his sweat pants don’t fit. We are going to have to buy some more😳. Jeepers. Another expense that we frankly expect to have with a growing child but the timing isn’t good😞. 

Thank you Lord for always supplying all our needs even when we don’t know how those needs will be met.  We thank you for the work coming in to bring the supply. We just thank you in advance. In Jesus Name. Amen! 

Always Learning

T loves to help out and learn how to do practical things. A pic of T helping cut extra support boards for the deck. Just want to give a little added support to our original boards.  

Hindsight is 2020 (Pun intended)

Well, we went and got our first load of deck boards with the van today. We also got some support boards as well and they came in to the tune of $450. I think that included the bucket of screws we got but that only covers maybe half the deck. The deck boards were twice the price ($23 a board, I think🤔 ) of what they were a few weeks ago when we went to check the pricing🙄. Just another thing we can thank the pandemic of 2020 for😡. With us not anticipating the cost to be that high that kinda threw us somewhat. It has to be done though so just another cost we are eating😞.
