It took nearly 4 weeks to re-shingle the roof at Grandpa's house. I didn't realize how big the roof really was until I climbed up there. Andy did a lot of the work since he didn't have to go to work everyday. Grandpa would race home everyday after work to help until it was dark. Uncle Buck helped Andy a lot during the day. He would run and get things for him and made sure he didn't fall off. ON the weekends Melissa and her family would come and help. They were life savers. They got a lot done in the short a mount of time they were there.
Here's Grandpa Shirley getting ready to move the tarp down so that they could keep cleaning off the old shingles.
Daniel and Andy cleaning off the back of the roof.
The roof in front of the dormers had some rot and they had to replace some of the boards.

This little frog was on the top of the roof when we went up to shingle on evening. It was really cute! The kids loved it.
This is the front side with the new shingles.
We finished the front of the house and the garage before we left. All they had to do was finish the cap shingles and clean up the LARGE mess we left on the front lawn!The roof looks great and we hope it will last them for a very, very, very long time! :)

I have re-shingled a couple of homes with my family and it is a lot of work. Especially that part about the front lawn being a mess! It looks like you guys did a really fantastic job!
Sounds like you guys have been busy with lots of crazy fun! We miss you!
