Snow and then a Turn-around

Last night I checked the roads between here and the Manti Temple.  I couldn't much after it got dark, but during the daylight hours, the roads looked pretty good.  Even at night there was a car in the UDOT picture that showed we roads and free from snow.

This morning were up at 3:27 and were ready to leave at a little after four.  The freeway to Scipio was clear of snow.  We drove from Scipio to somewhere around Scipio lake.  It was hard to tell were we were because of the snow and fog.  Carol was driving slowly by now. There was a big semi-truck behind us.  Carol went slower and slower hoping that he would pass us.  He did not,  she signaled to the right and stopped on the sided of the road.  She quickly turned around and we slowly made our way back.  We got back home a little after five which was close to the time I usually get up.

I checked the UDOT road report and it appeared that most of the road were only wet.

We drove to Fillmore to take the necessary papers for the home equity loan that were are getting to pay for the shingles.  We had all the papers needed except my retirement amount from the state. 

Working on the Roof, But Not Me

A couple of weeks ago, David, submitted a bid for re-shingling our house.  Copy of the bid is below.

A couple of days ago, one of his workers showed up and indicated that they would start tomorrow, but tomorrow would be Tuesday which is our day to be at the temple.  Two men showed up this morning and began the job.  They began to back their trailer at the front of the garage door.  I had them wait until I got the our car out of the garage.  They then backed about a foot from the door.  There was snow on the roof and with a snow shovel they were able to scape off the snow.  A blower was use to remove the rest.   One person started peeling the singles and nails off the roof, and the other worker would pick up the shingles and drop them into the trailer.

  I wanted some pictures of the progress that they are making.  I suggested that I would get a good picture if one of them fell off the roof.  Below, one pretended that he had lost his balance.
