The Roof Gets Repaired (Talk about Noise!)

So, now that the foundation repair guys have left, we no longer hear the jack hammers and the other loud noises that came with it. The roofers started today! So, the jackhammers are replaced by tearing the roof off and pounding the new roof on. Here are some pictures when they are just getting started.









What the heck is up there in the tree? You can see it on the picture on the right, way up high. To quote "The Queen" - "WTF"??





HAHA.... I suppose this could be another use for our tree. The day was a beautiful day, but started out chilly. I guess the worker got hot and need to hang his jacket somewhere.

~~~Poor piper, loud noises scare her. She's been cowering in corners where ever they are not hammering. Or, she will come and sit close to me. Right now she is underneath my legs under the desk. I'd take a picture of her, but the camera is in the other room.
~~~~~~~They didn't warn us to move things off of shelves. All of my pictures fell off of the Mantle! We had some coins up there that belonged to Jeffrey, and we had them by his picture. They all fell. I hope I picked all of them up for Piper's sake! One of my knick knacks fell and broke. :(
~~~~~~While there were up on the roof, I asked them if they could put in some new florescent lights in the skylight. Those lights have been there since we moved in (brand new), 19 years ago! Only one was turning on- but weak.
~~~~They said no problem so they removed the lights. They will insert the new ones that DH is going to pick up tonight. COOL!! I've been asking DH to take care of this, but he keeps finding excuses! Sometimes..... ooooo - that DH! :)

UH-OH... I just went into the kitchen and there are pieces of the roof and dirt that has fallen through the sky light, onto the island and my floor!! I'll have to let them know so they can close it properly.

Never has our driveway looked so lovely.

So, the banging has gotten louder throughout the day. They say they will be finished tomorrow! I thought it might be at least 3 days! That's probably good because it might rain the next couple of days. YIKES!
