The last big JOB

It almost time for us to go home. We have one more big job to do replace the shingles on a garage and paint the barn . Connie started on the shingles while I was taking off the old trim at the bottom of the roof on Saturday. We were at church Sunday and a member ask how much longer we would be here. I told him what we had to do. He then ask if I could use a nail gun and shovel for the singles. I said that would be great. We stopped by his house on Monday to pick up the things we needed for the job. It was nice having extra tools to take off the roof. I stared to help Connie take off the singles. Talk about hard there was three layer of shingles on the roof. They were nail into pinewood broads.The nail were very hard to get out. We would lay on the shovel so hard that the nail would just pop out flying who know where. We got over half of the shingles off the roof Monday. Tuesday we started putting on the new shingles. We had the tar paper on and 1/3 of the shingles that when the lighting started to sound off. The clouds started to roll in and the lighting was getting closer. We got our things off of the roof. We hopped into our car to get some thing from town. When we drive the three mile to town . We found our self in a heavy rain storm then hail stones started to come down. We park under a gas station roof for some protection. The next thing we did was to drive home very slowly. The rain was coming down so hard that our windshield wiper could hardly keep the rain off our windshield. The next day we heard that tennis ball size hail stone had hit in someplace around area. A tornado had gone through a small town south of us and kill 8 people. A family in our branch that live only 8 miles from town said the hailstone broke some window. They could see the indentation on the roof of there house where the hail stone hit. We asked some of the locals here if this was a normal storm for this area. They said yep pretty much. It rain the rest of that night by morning it had stopped. When we got to the job site the garage had leak inside a little bit but the tar paper and shingles were still on Thank the Lord. We got the rest of the shingles on the 1/2 of roof by the end of the day. It stay cloudy for the next two days. We had the new singles on on by Friday. I did not think that I would be able to haul 53 bundles of shingles up a ladder and get this job done. Now it feel so good to have it done. Using the nail gun made it almost fun. It was much faster than hamming the nails one at a time even let Connie hammer some nail in the shingles on too. Now can a man love a woman more then that??
Now it getting late and the coyote just got through serenading us which I am going to miss about this place. Part of this mission is to get yo know your companion little better. We are with each other 24 hour a day.even shopping together.
