We bought this house knowing the roof needed to be re-done badly. And so we asked a few of the DeLange family members to help us out. We had a house full of 10 people total, with five of them who worked on the roof. And us girls and the kids helped pick up shingles off the ground.
People involved:
- Rob and Anne (Alec's sister and husband) and their 2 boys Colin and Gage
- Derek (brother)
- Jordan (brother)
- Mike (family friend)
- Lauren (sister)
- Alec and I
They got the whole thing done between saturday and sunday, it was amazing! We are just beyond thankful for having such an amazing family that is willing to drive all the way here and spend their weekend working endlessly on our house. God has truly blessed us!!
I thought we were doing really great with minimal injuries (even though I did print out directions to the nearest hospital........just in case). But then sunday night after we drove around downtown showing Anne and Rob and the boys around, I was walking up the sidewalk to the house and stepped on a nail. It went right through my shoe into my foot, and of course it was an old nasty nail from the old roof. So we checked my immunization records and saw my last tetanus shot was in 1998, and they are only good for 10yrs. BOO! But after some deliberation I decided I would be fine, and didn't want to go in.
Overall though the weekend went amazingly well, and we are so excited that the roof is done and we don't have to think about it anymore!
