Thanks, Uncle Sam

Today was a very noisy day at our house. But not because of the kids, or even the adults for that matter. We had an unexpected tax return and after daydreaming, and even window shopping, for all sorts of fun, unnecessary items (see below)we decided to do the responsible thing with the money and got a new roof put on our house. For those of you who have never been inside of a house while this is going on, it is unrelenting and a very noisy business. We used a local company that has been around for 40+ years; The Roof Doctor; and they tore off the old roof and had the new one up all in one day! Although I failed to take pictures of the moss-covered old one, trust me, it was in dire need of replacement.It may not look it, but this was done on purpose. Looks bad, doesn't it?


The kids were fascinated by the conveyor belt that took the shingles up to the roof.


In progress...

Good for another 30 years! - April

Sometimes I wish going to Disneyland was responsible.
