A few days ago we had some very gusty winds all day long that took off big chunks of our roof shingles. We watched in horror as section after section flew off and landed on the ground. Today it is sunny and not windy or rainy, so Harold is up on the roof repairing what he can. We hope to finish putting on a metal roof this summer, which will be a permanent fix to our roof problem. We have part of the back of the house done already with metal roofing, but we need to do the front of the house very soon. We gathered what we could for shingle sections, and Harold used his trusty tractor/loader to carry them to the roof. He went up on a ladder. I took a few pictures, in between worrying about Harold falling!

| Harold nails shingles back on after the wind damage. |

| The sections came off in random pieces, so it is like a puzzle to figure out where the pieces go. Harold studies where the next piece goes. |
 |
| Just about done. A brave guy to be standing up on the roof like that! |

| We find so many uses for this tractor. How wonderful that Harold can do repairs like this. |
Now that he is finished I can quit worrying!

You know, if you could lift Harold up in the bucket along with the shingles etc., he wouldn't need the ladder. That works well and saves a little strain on the back lifting the ladder around. :-)
First the wife would have to learn to operate the tractor, not gonna happen!!
So sorry about the storms causing damage to your roof. I can only imagine how scary it must have been to watch as he was doing the repairs! God bless you both!
It is funny how the Lord leads us to new blogs and new brothers and sisters in the Lord! I just saw your comment on Mrs. White's post, and I just felt led to click on your profile and found your blog. It is so nice to "meet" you! I am sorry to hear of your roof damage but grateful for God's protection from something worse. He is so faithful to His trusting children. I would have worried about my husband up there, too! God bless you!
Thank you Cheryl, I hope you enjoy reading about life up here in the northwoods of Minnesota. We do feel very blessed to be here where we are!
