Shingled

I've had good intentions to blog the past few weeks, but as usual, I am busy and sitting down to a 20 minute blog is difficult. Maybe not the fact that I can't find time to blog, it's a matter of finding 20 consecutive minutes to blog! Tonight I am making a rather late entry just so I can get a blog in for July.

The summer project for my family was shingling our old house. We have neglected it for too long and it was time for some much needed repairs. With the new house having projects all the time and Laura and I taking our vacation to Montana (for 3 years) we finally MADE time to put in some long, hot, tiring hours on the roof. A few days were well over 14 hours, and the first weekend we worked close to 33 hours - keep in mind, there are only 48 hours in a weekend! Needless to day, our motivation was rather lacking after a few weekends of work, but we have finished shingling the house and we are ready to move onto other projects... But first, Laura and I have to move in!The dark shingles will take some time to get used to, but once the siding is replaced I think the house will look a lot better. Laura and I are looking forward to moving in and doing some repairs, improving things, and generally having a place we don't mind putting some work into. A place where our efforts won't be overlooked. I think Emryk will enjoy it too - a front yard to play in and explore the great outdoors!Until again
