Hi kids. I didn't think the 9 was a word but it is. I surprised myself.

Morning, scrabs.

6:59 am

Hi Bea. How are you today?

7:01 am

BzznBea

Is your mom's roof completed?

7:03 am

Scrabbler

She didn't call me last evening so I am not sure. I suspect the work is done. Almost $20K. Yikes.

7:03 am

rururocks

I hope there was a ceiling on the cost

7:04 am

BzznBea

That is a crazy cost.

7:04 am

Scrabbler

Haha. There was an added $5K when rotten boards were discovered under the old shingles and new boards had to be put down. Also, removing the old layers contributed to the cost.
