Roof Woes

Last night on the way to bed, Jeff and I heard a very disheartening sound... the sound of water dripping. Where was it coming from? The kitchen ceiling...

It appears that our roof has been leaking for some time and it had finally come through the ceiling. At 11 pm, we stood in the kitchen, pulling down ceiling and wet insulation.

Now another thing or two needs to be done before our house can be put up for sale. We need to repair our roof and probably put another layer of shingles on it. Then we need to repair the kitchen ceiling and repaint it.

This all sounds very tiring to me, but I have calls into 3 different roofing companies. If anyone knows someone in the area who does a good job and is quick and relatively cheap... Let me know!

Sorting and Organizing

It's that time of year again, when I start to think about fall and winter clothing and start doing the switch over. I've been going through totes of clothing all morning to determine what the boys need still for this winter, and what I might be able to get them on clearance for next summer... Now it's time to drop off some donations, try to sell some of this clothing and then take a nap!
