What do you get when you mix...

An old house, shingles, two nail guns, a chalk line and four girls?

No, this isn't a trick question, the obvious answer is a new roof.

We as a family are working on renovating a house that we hope to turn into a guest house where

families can come and rent an apartment and spend some time in the finger lake region of New York State, and it was in bad need of a roof job. So Anja and Olivia B. came over and they along with Elise and I once again became the best looking work crew that some people have ever seen;) We started on Saturday morning at 6:30 and worked until ten. Now you have to picture the roof: it has three parts and they are all different sizes and we have names for them, the big one is; "Papa Roof", medium, "Mama Roof" and of course "Baby Roof". On Saturday we did one side of Mama and started one of Papa's sides and then Anja and Olivia had to leave to go to a wedding, isn't' that just every girls nightmare? Get up at six in the morning so that you can spend several hours getting grimy and then you go to a wedding! Well anyway, we were right back at it at seven this morning (we thought that since there wasn't a wedding to get to we could start at least a little later;) and we finished all of Papa Bear!!! Then we ran out of shingles so we had to call it a day around 2:30. Tonight my brother Jeremy went to get more shingles for us and so we are going back at it tomorrow at seven and hopefully we will be able to finish it.

Our father's asked, since we are so good:),

if we want to start our own business?

We told them thanks but no thanks,

we are having fun

and all but it is to hard on the manicure;)
