The Roof is Finished!!

Oh, what a week. You saw the pictures of our old roof being torn off, what you didn't see was pictures of the 10+ inches of rain that we had that weekend. Our roofer guys (or contractors - if you are into the technical terms) covered our roof with the layer of stuff that goes on before the shingles (I'm not even going to try to come up with the name for that one), but didn't get to the shingling. Yeah, I had buckets to catch water all over the house. I was ready to sell it (or burn it) so we could just get out of it. Anyway, the rain finally left and left us with a few repairs to make, but now we have a beautiful and leak-free roof (of course, it hasn't been put to the test yet... ).

Isn't yellow house beautiful??

So, it was all finished on Wednesday or something, Thursday was rather uneventful, but Friday....well, it was a great morning. I was very productive, I got all my morning chores done, all the little things that need to be done and then I was getting ready to go to work (You know, my 6 hour a week job at our church) and what did I find when I went to the basement to get a bottle of water? More water, coming from our hot water heater. Oh, I started to panic. I decided in that moment that although I had always thought of water as fun and good, it was really bad and not so fun. I was ready to move to the desert. Well, since Curt works here and all, I guess we are staying but, it was really close. A big shout out to my friends (Rachel and Brad and Rachel and Chad) who so wonderfully calmed me down and helped to get us a new water heater installed on Saturday. You guys are fabulous and I love you all.
