I'm thankful for a new roof





I'm thankful for a new roof.  First to God for providing the money for the materials and the time off from work, and the (sort of) good weather to get it done.  And the (sort of ) energy to work on it.

I am very thankful to those who helped- Ben, David and Oscar.  For the most part I was just helping Ben re roof the house.

I'm thankful for all the delicious meals brought in by Sandy, Sue, Judy, Joe, and Annette.  We had more cookies, pie, ice cream, etc. than even I could eat.  I gained weight on this project.

I'm thankful for all the tools that friends loaned me such as nailers and compressors to make the work go faster.

And I'm thankful for all the good advise on how to proceed.

Hopefully I won't have to worry about a leaky roof for a long time.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

You're welcome!! Wait, I don't think I did anything to help. Maybe my phone calls during the week can count as emotional stability and encouragement?

Only if groaning in disgust counts as an emotionally stablelizing activity.

I think that 3rd picture is particularly illuminating. The caption could read: "Dad places cap shingles on the porch entryway while David plays King's Quest IV on a DOS emulator at the picnic table."
