Roof, part 1

Today is an exciting day around our house. It's the day our new roof goes on! We are so thankful that our entire roof will be replaced without any money out of our pockets. Thank goodness for homeowners insurance and the storm that happened on Oct. 5th that allowed this to become a reality. The boys have been really excited about this day, especially Camden. He likes anything that has to do with building, construction, and work. So he jumped out of bed this morning at the first sound and has been busy soaking it in all day long. I knew we wouldn't get much homeschooling in today due to the noise and all, so we packed a lot of work into the past three school days so we could take today off. The roofers were nice enough to let the boys take the old shingles off the shed roof so they had fun with that, and Camden came in and announced that he thinks he might want to be a roofer when he grows up. I sure love that boy! So this is what has been going on so far today:
Supplies delivered
 Getting started taking off the old roof.

 the boys get to work on the shed.
 Dad let them stand on top of the shed roof but what they really wanted was to be on the house roof right in the mix, sorry guys, not today.
 My husband, Mr. Inspector. I haven't seen much of him today because he has been busy making sure everything goes according to plan. I keep reminding him he's not being paid to help, but he just can't sit still.
Roof part 2 coming up later!

I was supposed to have mine done this week too, but the check from the insurance company hasn't cleared yet, so the roofer won't start until that does. I guess I can hardly blame him. It's a lot of money to front.

Good luck with yours! It's so fun to have such sprucing up going on at the insurance company's expense, huh?
