Recently at my house
a building permit appeared in our front window.
Very early in the morning a great big truck arrived.
A man began sending roofing materials up a big conveyor belt to our roof. Thud,thud thud...
scrape scrape scrape, bang, bang, bang the sounds we heard all day long. Then it got strangely quite.
Hey, those are dad's ladders out back, he was up on the roof working on disconnecting our solar panels.
Shall we?
That's a long way up for a little bear. I think dad's ladder might not pass a safety inspection, see that rung? Hope it's secure.
Here goes..
Whew! I made it,
and there are the solar panels. Normally, they aren't flat against the roof.
When they are hooked up they are too hot for a bear to sit on. Hope I don't slide down and off the roof.
Looks like they are ready to put a new flat roof on in the morning.
There's dad's truck...
and mom's new car.
Looks like there will be more pounding tomorrow. Lots more pounding and banging. Got any aspirin?
It was so loud when they were dropping bundles of shingles today. Sometimes the whole house shook.
We are so grateful that the new roof was finished before we got some more really bad thunderstorms.
Grr-bye for now,

Wow Buttons, you were beary brave the way you climbed up that ladder... and all by yourself too! I'm impressed. I don't think I could have done that - I don't think my human lady would have been able to either.
We love this adventure Buttons! You sure were up there high on the roof, were you scared? The roof of our house was redone this summer too, and we took out cold bottles of water for the roffers because they worked so hard. Hope you're doing well!
You got to climb the LADDER!! And sit on the roof! HOW COOL!
