money pit

the awning is taking a little break...

 i returned from school supply shopping on sunday - a frustrating sort of shopping - to find that our retractable awning had fallen down off the house. luckily nobody was hurt. i've been spending too much time since trying to get the situation solved. it is currently removed, and the roof is partially fixed. the roofers didn't have shingles to match, so they'll be back tomorrow. with my luck, they'll return right when the kids are trying to nap. they totally ruined naptime today. the roofing company will supposedly pay to have an awning company reattach the awning, at my request. i had someone from an awning company come out to look at it first, then had a building contractor look at it, and then i contacted the roofer. on top of everything, j has been working late, as he's been swamped at work. this has been solely my responsibility to solve, right in the middle of scheduling madness. this week had better improve.

ummm... that doesn't look right

ya missed the rafter - sorry fascia!
