Wednesday, May 13, 2015Good morning crew,
The wife sent me an email this morning saying, "It has BEGUN!" She said that a truck full of laborers showed up at the door while she was brushing her teeth and before she knew what was happening they had pulled out ladders and started tearing up shingles. She described it like a herd of elephants doing the mambo on the roof.
So a couple hours ago I went home to see what the hell these guys were up to.
All I can say is they don't waste time. By the time I got there they had stripped off all the old shingles and dismantled about half the roof. But it is a good thing we decided to do a complete 'tear off' as they call it, because some of the decking they were tearing up was almost completely rotted through. I don't even want to think about the problems we would have had if I just had them re-shingle over the old roof.
At the pace they are going the whole job should be done by the time I get home tonight. All I have to do now is figure out how to pay for it. I should be able to swing it as long as they don't send me a bill for about 8 weeks.
Laugh it up,
Joe

*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes --------------*When Diane found out she was pregnant, she told the good news to anyone who would listen. But her 4-year-old son overheard some of her parents' private conversations. One day when Diane and her 4-year-old were shopping a woman asked the little boy if he was excited about the new baby.
"Yes!" the 4-year-old said, "and I know what we are going to name it, too. If it's a girl we're going to call her Christina, and if it's another boy we're going to call it quits!"
