While I was at work today

While I was at work today my new roof was put on.
I will get pictures later, I have been up since 4:30 this morning and I am pretty tired.
Next will be the furnace and cooling system, I believe. But I do not know when.
We did not know the roofers were coming today. Bob heard them when he got up at 8;30 this morning.
Bruno, is pretty social, and it does not seem to have phased him at all. Bitty acts shattered. As she does anytime I have anyone here to do work. She acts scared of me as well.
Bruno is well socialized, as when my sister was alive her neighbors came in and out all the time. They petted and brushed him and he just was used to them, and the maintenance guy at the apartment. On the other hand, Bitty was a stray, and except for my daughter and grandchildren on a visit, she has not been around anyone except
Bob and I.When the plumber was coming a lot she would hiss at him. She makes herself scarce.
I guess we shall see what other adventures await.

I'm happy you got a new roof, and you didn't have to listen to it. I'm sure the aniams will get over it.

That is right and the house is simple with not a lot of gutters and peaks.

Glad to know that work on your house is being done, That is great being at work while the roof is being repaired, We had the roof fixed here and my apartment if just beneath and that was really noisy, My cats hate any people they don't know they are very skittish,

Your kitties are just used to you. If I had not been at work, I would have left for most of the day.

I guess different dogs have different behaviors dealing with strangers.

Just a plain old white shingle roof, but no holes or tarps.

Me too. I need to get some stuff packed away so they can do interior work.

Two cats, two completely different personalities. Poor Bitty. I hope she will be all right with all the workers there.

I tried to make sure that my cats didn't go outside when I had a new water heater put in. I was nervous wreck, but they didn't go out thank goodness.

It is great. The house is pretty simple and did not require much. It was straight forward.

That's a good feeling to have a good, new roof. I hope you can get some rest, the first day back after a break is often a tough one.
