The rest of the writing on the trailer is Billy Kimberlin Roofing with a complete phone number of 941-460-1680 in Englewood Florida, Reroof Expert. A roofer with a heart! Due to circumstances discussed in previous blogs our homeowners insurance was threatened to be cancelled by Tower Hill if our roof was not replaced by October 1, 2018!
Billy Kimberlin had us scheduled according to proper first come first serve in several weeks past that date, until he knew/ heard our entire story! For some wonderful reason he decided to fit us in so we would not succumb to cancellation! Thank you so much Billy Kimberlin owner of a roofing company with a heart! Oops I said that already, but true. Certified and insured, permits included, I might add, he also has his professional license number on his trucks too!
Arrival of team to start work 9-13-18 at 7:30 A.M.!
Must go through steps of inspections., removal of old roof and felt replaced today.
They have left both vehicles here and will be back tomorrow to finish up!
When we arrived home from our outing in Ft. Myers yesterday to an amazing welcomed blockage pictured below in front of our garage door! The trailer for the debris of our old roof! Yesterday it was empty and today it was filled!
Arrival yesterday empty, 9-12-18. PIC is of today, 9-13-18, with debris inside.
Now to yesterday and why I was soooo exhausted, we had gone down to Ft. Myers to look at a used Mercedes Class B 2013 Motorhome, a diesel with only 24k miles on it. Unfortunately, they could not give us the price we needed to feel comfortable with our van as trade in, but due to my perfect credit and Hubby's too they kept trying for over four hours, not counting travel time! They were very nice and pleasant, but the price was over what we had wanted to spend. Le Mesa RV in Fort Myers Florida is where we were, what a great team of people there. They promised to keep trying to find us something. The reason we decided to look was due to our furry kids and me having to wait in the car and Hubby too, where they are sometimes not allowed this would be a choice for local as well as long distance travel as an alternative option.
Afterwards we realized with getting only high teens to low twenties miles per gallon of diesel that would not be cost effective with diesel coming in much higher priced than gas too.
And it was difficult for me to maneuver in the very plush space that had a wet room, meaning... a toilet, sink and shower combined, with nearly a home full size stainless steel fridge, fancy sleek smooth stove top and kitchen sink, and microwave, and full sized bed, two TVs, GPS, lotsa storage, propane air conditioner for the living area, sofa, and two swivel captains chairs with fold out table in the dinning area!
That is why we nearly went for it, but alas realism took over, it would have been too much more a month than what we pay for our current van that is a 2015 with only 14K miles on it, and can get as much as 32 miles to the gallon on gas! Also, hotels for us average $75-100 a night, and campgrounds can be as low as $40 a night. So we kept making mental notes, thus the difficulty in our decision.
In the end we feel confident we decided right.
Moving on...
Pizza cheat story photos appeared magically today!
Needed to do that, above the first two slices were mine with spinach, mushrooms and onions, and Hubby's were the plain ones below that!
Happy good night all!
Count those blessings and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
PS PRAY FOR THE CAROLINAS AND GEORGIA that they survive FLO, SHE MUST GO!
STAY SAFE Y'ALL!
