Mostly Done....

When I am right I usually love it and proclaim it from the roof tops.  But this time I worried, (unlike me) stewed, grumped, and was rewarded with a few days of nasty headaches!!  At the beginning of last week, after a weekend of roofing I told my hubby that there was no way we (he) could finish the roof by Monday May 31st.  Important because all of the males in our home were going on Super Activities for church starting early Tuesday morning.  I also knew that he could not work on the roof on Wednesday or Thursday due to our son graduating from seminary and high school.  So Ken's solution was to take Friday off.  I was somewhat pacified but still knew it would be an impossible task.  Friday morning came and when Dallin came home from Grad night Ken and Logan got up and got on the roof.  Kens plan was to work until 9 and then he had to go to work for a couple hours, come home and wake up Dallin and work until they dropped.  Get up Saturday and repeat,(except for the work part) rest on Sunday, Monday repeat.  So Friday when does Ken get home from work?  4.  What was my blood pressure?  Actually I already had a killer headache and knew if I didn't chill I would pay big time.  I was not too worried until we had to replace all of the plywood under the shingles, 150 pieces of plywood, YIKES!!

Luckily, on Sunday Ken spoke with a friend who finished his roof the weekend before and he volunteered to come on Monday and help.  Plus he brought another roofing nailer.  Note to self:  2 nailers are sssoooo much better than one!!!  Between Jason, my brother Dean, his boys Kai, Jake and Treven, Ken and Dallin and Logan - not to mention my SIL Kirsten who made me look bad by being on the roof at 5am Monday morning while I was in BED waiting for medicine to work!!  After 3 trips to Home Depot - a break at 3pm for BBQ at the Dentons (I know this seems weird but it was too hot to keep moving the shingles) then back at it at 6 with ME on the roof too we shingled the whole thing!  I am sure my neighbors hate us!  Most nights we knocked off by 11-12 but Monday it was at least 1 when we got off the roof and still had to pick up and put things away.  Needless to say there are a few things to finish but for the most part it is done!!  I am sore and tired.  I am sure my boys and Deans boys slept all the way to Utah!!

What a job!!  At about midnight on Monday, my bro Dean looked up at the teenagers and

said " so who is going to college?"

All agreed to finish college......hhmmm  wonder why?

Just a few things to finish up this weekend and hopefully it doesn't leak!!
