New Roof(s)

We got hammered by a powerful hail storm back in the spring. I called our insurance folks to report damage to our cars, and then mentioned our roof just to document it in case we ever had leakage in the future. I returned from England in June to find a check for a large sum of money awaiting me. June and July were very busy and too hectic, so we finally started repairs in August. K5 didn't move her car before going off with Mom that morning, so we covered it and began work. 

We had rain in the forecast most days, but were lucky to be delayed only one day.

The insurance appraiser also inspected the barn roof and said it had to be replaced as well, so we changed its color to red. The boys will be painting the exterior walls red as soon as we get a long enough dry spell...

 
...because it started raining the afternoon we finished! It was a good test and I'm happy to report "all is well" - no leaks in house or barn. 

Our ewes don't have a roof, but make do with getting out of the rain by standing under a big tree.

The rams aren't so lucky. No roof or tree. The two of them just stand there and take it like a man.

  1. A red barn sounds nice! Anyway, that's too bad about the hailstorm. It's never fun when stuff like that happens, since they can be pretty scary and damaging. Still, at least you got the roof fixed and all!
