A New Roof

We have been planning on putting a new roof on our house for quite a while, and since we are putting our house on the market in a couple of weeks we decided we had to get it done, so we had saved our tax return and were planning on using that, until someone told us we should see if insurance would cover it because there was a bad hail storm last summer. So we called the insurance and had them come out and take a look. I thought for sure they would say sorry your roof in too old, but the guy came to my door and said, well it is a complete loss, we will mail you check out. Two days later we got a check in the mail for more than the price that it would take for us to do it ourselves. That right there was a tithing blessing. So a couple weeks later, Kevin his dad, four boys from the school and our Branch President, came and replaced out roof. They worked so hard. We are so grateful for all of their help. It took a few days longer than we thought it would, but things like this usually do. If you want to see a before picture you can go here.

This was the crew on the first day tearing off all the layers.
This is when they were loading the shingles onto the roof.

Here is the roof all done, it makes such a difference in how the house looks, and should really help us sell this house. Wish us luck!
