There are Easier Ways to Save Money

We'd been in dire need of a new roof for a while.  So, this is summer, we got it done; what a pain in the butt!

We opted to save a few dollars by ripping off our own roofing.  Bad idea.  It was the worst three days of dirty, hot, sweaty, manual labor that I can remember for a long time.


Here is a picture of me discovery yet another layer of roof that needs to be pulled of (three in all).  This is when I first thought I might have made a mistake.

Day 3: Finally making some progress (and a big mess).

Here I am, so dirty and exhausted that I had to take these clothes off outside before going in the house to shower.

Close up for effect (notice the grime on the arms - a sweet mixture of dirt and sweat).

I almost look like I'm tan.
