Up On the Rooftop...

Clink, Clank, Clunk!

My Daddy came out today with his boss, John Gil to fix our chimney. The phone rang at 10AM this morning alerting me that they'd be out shortly with all the necessary equipment and asked if I own a hose. Seriously... Do I own a hose?

The kids had a great time learning how to mix cement in the wheelbarrow. Jack, 12, got himself all the way up onto the roof with his Grandpapa and John to help with the pouring. William and Carrie even had a go at climbing the ladder - with help and supervision, of course! Catherine watched quietly from time to time and little Sophie sent all her time running from window to window to catch a glimpse of her beloved Grandpapa. And is anyone opened the door, she ran for it!

And apart from a few loud noises that caused me to cringe and reach for the phone - just in case - the job was done in no time. They'll be back tomorrow to remove the forms and reveal their beautiful work! And all for the price of a hot lunch!
