Roofers

Summer finally got to Murray and it’s now hot and dry…just the way I like it—true, I lost a week or two due to medical issues but I am quite right again and looking forward to a busy productive summer. One of the things we have talked for couple of years or when ever the heavy rains come is our need to put a new roof on the house and new roofs to be I like the “big time” of home ownership like plumbing, electrical or doing a new driveway. The roof is something that typically you have to enlist friends, relatives or people from the church who always say” just give us a call if We can be of help. That is how I learned you go to your network for this kind of help. Actually there were enough kids that my dad just conscripted us into working. New roof? no problem. Dad just purchased the materials and up on the roof we went-the project took a weekend or two but we got the. job done

But that was then and this is now. I obviously cannot climb onto the roof and Dianne is uncomfortable with amateurs up on the house so we are bidding the job out. So out they come with their red pickup trucks, Lexus vehicle or pickup with ladders on top. We visit for a minute then they walk round the house and then climb up measure and then disappear into their vehicle for an hour and return with the quote. It’s that painfully simple. It looks like the project is going to run7 to 9 grand and I don’t know how we will do it be we have to…something to do with insurance guys coming out to check on the place. So we have become highly motivated. We are even going to retain the deck and who know what else. Summer timer and the living is easy.
