Today, a group of six men came to our new house and re-roofed the entire thing in about five hours. They wanted NOTHING in return, except a Mexican food meal at a restaurant they like. I'm overwhelmed by their generosity (most of them came from more than thirty miles away). It brings tears to my eyes. As soon as the carpet is installed, Jenn and I can move in. Dad and Mom, as well as my in-laws, have been great, letting us live with them during this time of transition. That time is almost over. People have been so kind and generous, it makes me feel really small and humbled and extremely grateful.
I'll post pics of the new (and old) roof as soon as I can. In the hustle and bustle of today, I forgot to take pictures. I'm sure you understand.
It feels like repairing this home has taken over our lives. I'm sure we'll return to a sense of normalcy soon. I cannot wait.
