The winter rainy season was fast approaching – in fact, rain was happening in town, in the county and all around us. But God held it off of our thirsty land while we hurried to dry in our house.
A beautiful day dawned:
The building stood ready….
First a blanket of insulation (yes, the 60 year old man on the right is my Dad, the ridge runner!)
Flora checks out the attic space (while mommy nervously watches from very close by).
Panels are measured, and holes pre-drilled. (Dad and the brother Brian)
Taking the panel up! Due to the trees we liked next to our house, each panel had to go up in one place…
and slid across the roof to the other end (brothers Michael, David and Timothy)
Katie ready to secure the next panel. The beautiful day was sunny and pleasant, but the reflective roof made for hot work and good winter tans!
Brian took off work for the second day of roofing and I was able to help as well. It was overcast and slightly misting which made for cooler working but a slippery surface.
The finished roof!

And then the rains came! A downpour like we hadn’t seen since the spring. Katie and I ran through the raindrops, lighting and thunder to stand in the house and listen to the rain on the roof. Thrilling!
“For He sendeth rain on the just and the unjust”….and sometimes, He withholds it, just for us.
awesome the house is look great
God is so good. I didn’t get the whole story but who got hurt the other day? Which is the kids? and how?
We’re all waiting to hear how Flora got her finger mashed. Hope she’s ok now. House looking great.
