Roofing

Grandpa and Grandma needed a new roof on their house really bad so Dad, Kyson, Jake, and my Uncle John worked all day and then Kyle and I came after work and helped them at night. I can't say that I helped a ton but I'm super good at having more nails ready, getting drinks, and talking pictures. The boys on the other hand had a pretty nasty job. They had to tear off 3-4 layers before getting to the roof and then since it was so old it needed to be covered with plywood before they re-shingled...not to mention it was burning hot outside. It was really cool to see everybody come together to get the job done.

Dad was one of the official scrapers. He worked all day to scrap off all the old layers.

Jake, Grandpa, and Kyson cutting the plywood. The straw hats ended up being the "Nailing Crew" for that night.

Kyson and Kyle finishing up nailing down the tarp.

Supervisors: Anneli, Madi, Grandma, and Nicole. Grandma and Nicole always had cold drinks and food ready. They were life savers for the boys.


The Crew after day 1. Kyson, Kyle, Jake, Dad, John. If you look at Dad closely you will see that they are at least 3 huge holes in his pants. All that scraping really took a toll on his pants.

After a week of hard work the roof is done and looks great! I will have to remember to take a picture of the finished project.
