The family was up for the challenge...they began by stripping off all those tired old shingles...but alas, what to do with all the roofing nails and staples that remained?
Well, they had to be removed too...Every. Last. One.
And there were MANY.
And it was important to pick every one of them up so they didn't fall onto the ground and create a hazard for horse hooves, people feet, or tires! That's a handy magnet doohicky in the Big Brats grip...she's on the job!
G-pa Craig enjoyed was happy to have the help...the last roof roofed he almost did entirely on his own!
When it was all said and done, and the new roof was laid, it was a site to see for sure...although we probably won't wait the 50 years this last roof endured before repair, it will probably be good for at least 10-15....just enough time to recover!
