Extreme Home Makeover, Part 1

I left the house this morning to what sounded like hail stones dropping on our garage floor and loud thundering from above. No, it wasn't some fluke spring storm passing through...we are getting a new roof!
You may recall a small incident last summer, which left us less than a little confident in the condition of the "5-8 year-old" roof over our heads. We had several contractors and estimators come out to give their recommendations on how best to fix the problem, and the general consensus was that the roof was, indeed, much older than we thought and basically needed complete replacement. You can imagine how happy I was to hear that!
Well, to keep from stressing over it all through the hurricane season coming upon us faster than we'd like to acknowledge, we went ahead and booked a crew to come out and replace it. What seemed like 20 men arrived bright and early before 7 this morning and by the time I left around 8, they were trucking along. Poor Jax didn't know what to make of the noise, but luckily my wonderful husband is staying home to keep her company and monitor the progress...at least until lunchtime.
I am excited to see how it looks when I get home from the gym tonight! Oh, and as for the Part 2 of this story...you'll just have to stay tuned!
