New Roof

So, the story with the roof, is that the previous owners had made a BIG mistake when they put a new roof on. They had covered up all the venting so that when all the snow came in the winter time, it rotted out the roof to where it was VERY soft in places. About a month ago, a huge windstorm came through Rexburg (about 65 mph wind) and blew shingles off of our roof, which turned out to be a HUGE blessing in disguise because now our homeowners insurance would pay for a new roof! We had already been planning on replacing it, but that is just that much less that we have to fork over from our own pockets!!! So, we got a new roof this week, and the contractor only fell through the old one 1 time (don't worry, he caught himself before he did any major damage to himself!). So, this might not be as exciting for you, but we're sure excited to have a new roof that won't cave in on us in the winter!

Now, we're working on new windows that are all in place, they just need to touch up the trim before I put up pictures of those!
