I've got shingles

Both on the ground and on part of the roof. It's not done yet, but getting closer.
We had a great crew here last Sat, unfortunately the place we bought the shingles at didn't deliver them. At 9 Sat. morning Leon called to see where they were, and Menard's said "oh, they're on the truck on the route, and should be getting there. So the guys went to pick up the rental loader, & continued to get the pre-shingle work done. Noon came, and still no shingles delivered!! They'd given up and took the loader back so we weren't paying for empty time and finally after another phone call confirmed that NO, the shingles were actually never even PUT ON the truck, several of the guys headed up to the store to pick them up, which is what they would have done in the first place if we hadn't been told they were already en-route! Several "slightly" upset guys managed to convince them to give us money back, so we did get enough back to pay for the un-used rental loader at least.
Thanks to a friend who came to our rescue with his loader, the shingles got lifted to the roof, & the guys went to work. Moral of the story....If you've got a roofing crew ready to work, don't depend on someone else to deliver your shingles because you may have to finish it yourself!









The little girls found a hide-away place they could watch from without danger of falling debris!
Little boy wasn't so lucky, he wanted to be outside, preferably climbing the ladder with the big guys. It was about more than he could take to have to only watch out the window!
