Friday... The guys teared off old shingles (on half the roof) and attempted to land them in the dump trailer. I say "attempt" because that part of the project was definitely not their strong suit! It was my job to pick up the ones that didn't land in the trailer... which was about 3/4 of the roof. After some additional purchases at Menards we called it quits for the night.
All in all they got it papered and managed to pull an enormous tarp over it before any damage was done. Whew, close call. The rest of Saturday was shot due to the rain and that set us back quiet a bit... but don't worry, we still had to make another trip to Menards.
Sunday... We tried to play catch up and Kurt went to town shingling with the help of our friends Noah and Chuy (you guys totally kick butt!!).
After a full dawn-to-dusk day of work they wrapped things up for weekend. Kurt still had to finish up a section on Monday night but since then we've attempted to have a "normal" week and are saving the other half for the coming weekend. Oh yeah, I also made yet ANOTHER Menards run... *grumble*.
Even though the project is taking longer than we had hoped, the results are looking great! Check out these before and after shots!!

On another (much more fun) subject... our engagement pictures are TOMORROW and we are really excited for them!! =D The weather looks perfect, a sunny 68 degrees when the session starts so we're looking forward to hanging out downtown Cedar Falls for some modern pics and then out in the country for some laid-back shots. Our wedding photo, Rose, does some awesome work so it'll be fun to see how everything turns out!
