Bad Roofer Part 2
Well today gets even better than yesterday. He called E 2o times by nine am,then he said he wasn't going to deal with us anymore,while he was telling E all of that the roofer was sitting in our yard. !!!!!!!
He ran over a mustang door,and 2 finders that are in our driveway for our project mustang.We can not use these. :( They threw there lunch trash in our yard and it was McDonald's we do not eat there.. There is a slice in the roof from a razor knife.Then When I get home I get greeted by our kitties in the drive way.OMG!!!!!!! :( our boy cat took me around to the back of the house and ran up to the back porch door and looked up and all of the screens are torn out!!!!!!E took the kids to the local car show and was maybe gone and hour and a half.E called the police and they would not come out and make a report at first,now they did when it shown damage to the house.
E spoke to the building inspector and he said they were doing shotty work and recommended none payment till it was all fix.And they area that has shingles missing,they are missing because they knew that part of the roof was still leaking and chose not to tell us and try to make more money off of us.That's what the inspector said. The inspector is coming out next week,the mortage company is not going to release the rest of the check we have now since all of this has happened. We are getting an lawyer to handle the rest.
I am scared that this guy is going to do something while we are home.Sleeping. :( I will not be able to sleep tonight.I do not feel safe enough o go out and walk.OH yeah and the 5 gallons of gas in the gas can for the lawn mower is empty now. :(
so now we are going to do a once over in the yard and make sure the gas is not in cans or anything. I will update in the morning.Oh yeah he went to our neighbors and bad mouth us,and the one saw them all they way up in our driveway with with their trucks!!!!!!

This is funny when I need a good laugh I go here.
What would you do if your roof looked like this??
This is a part of the roof on the left side of the house.Does this look finished?? It does not look finished to me.It looks like it is missing a lot of shingles. here's another...
This is the other side of the roof on the right side ,does this look finished to you???? Not to me.
Here is another.......
This isn't the greatest picture can you see the missing shingles?? Would you be mad if your roofer did this to you???The neighbors roofs do not look goofy like this.Would you pay the roofer??Would you want it fixed?? The roof leaks worse than before. It looks like it is missing three rows of shingles.
This is the center of the roof.The tape measure is showing where the pitch of the roof starts,for the flat roof. Is it missing shingles? I think there are three rows missing. The roofer said that they can not shingle there,but they pulled up the shingles there.And dried it in,but would not put the shingles back. That big space runs across the whole top of the roof in between the pictures above. And the roof leaks. :(
This is a piece of wood that was used to hold down the blue tarps. The roofers said they didn't notice it.That's funny they dried in that part of the roof and again there is no shingles. Plus those are new nails in that piece of wood. That was over the kitchen .That is why It was leaking and the roofer said he is not responsible for it,or the damage from the roof leaking on the new ceiling in the kitchen.
This is a nail in the roof they said they didn't notice,in the roof.That is a part of the roof they dried in.Again no shingles,but a nice new shiny nail that was over the kitchen that was leaking.Again they say that they are not responsible.
So today we are being harassed by the contractor cause we are withholding the payment and the bank has not released the whole check.We have the city building inspector coming out to show us what is the pitch and why does the roof look so much different they everyone else's.
There is also a hump in the shingles,no one else has a hump.But the roofer now has offered to fix the roof for a extra amount, and he will eat some of the fee.With out a permit.NO PERMIT! Do you know the fines that would be placed by the city?????

On the TM I ran 8 minutes out of 15.I had to walk the rest cause my right calf muscle became so tight I could not bend my foot.And I had to walk it off.They both use to do that,but now it is only the right one.

Running Speed Work (Intervals)
Speed work (Intervals) is the third running training step, the icing on your training cake, to a faster race and better finish. You’ll put the finishing touches on your endurance and strength workouts with three to five weeks of speed training. Speed work will give you an extra gear to shift into during races or training duels.I don't think I am ready for this.I haven't been able to a consistent runner yet. Thanks mgreene.I will use this for later training when I do become more consistent in running and training for the 1/2 in 2009.{At WDW}
Today I was off from work.I stepped down on my right foot wrong and across the toes hurt like you know what.
I have been tracking the miles I walk at work too.They have been tracking them at work and they let me also add the miles I do at home.I didn't realize how many miles I actually walked at work.In the 12 hours I am there in one hallway.

What Does Tower Of Terror 13k Mean To You? {36}
Just as the tittle says.What does it mean to you?? Is it just another race,or is it your first,or your first at WDW?
Well for me this is going to be an emotional race.
Before I met E I was married.I thought he was Mr.Right. I would start to train, or workout in one way or another he was not a positive support. So 5 years later here I am. No 6 years,E and I have been together 1 1/2 yrs. And over weight. I gained my weight in that 5 years.
Last September we started walking,and biking. Then in October 06 we were putting out Halloween decorations I slipped and fell and I damaged my good knee.I already have a bad one. So I had had to have surgery to clean it up.I was off my feet all of October,and November.I did physical therapy.As soon as I got the ok I was back out walking.My Ortho. Doctor does not want me running if I can speed walk it go for it. I have been running.My knees haven't been the problems. While I was out I gained some weight back that I lost.
Then I was reading the DWT and how everyone was wanting to do the same thing I was. Then I came across Jonathan.He help as fuel to the fire to keep going.Then Kate. He inspired you to start a blog and he was doing the same to me.Then JB.The mileage man.And all his great pictures. I missed the 2008 1/2 m sign up from the muscle injury.I sure won't miss the 2009 1/2 M.We are doing the family fun run in AK in 2008.I want to be there and cheer everyone on from WDT.Help out to if I can. Plus that weekend is E's birthday weekend and I am trying to get a surprise set up for him while there that weekend. :)
So I cry over everything.I am emotional person. And when we get there I have to stay focus,and not get caught up in the Disney atmosphere. {I love WDW and I just can't get enough of being there}.I want to finish that race and I want a picture of me crossing that finish line, and then one with my medal and Mickey. I am a picture person.I have pictures of everything.
I want pictures of those of us from the blogs cause I never made friends before over the internet.And to meet you guys and knowing that we all have the same goal and the love for the same place makes it so overwhelming. :)
My friend who I made through my ex ,she will be more than happy to show off the picture of me with my medal to my ex. That will be the closing that I need on that chapter.
To top it all off E's family is coming.My Dad is just well he doesn't like WDW,and he hasn't been there to know if he will like it.My mom she just can't make it,next year she will.And this is my first official race.
So this is what is race means to me and my emotions are running high.
I am raising money for Jon and he doesn't even know it yet and I hope it stays that way till Dec.8th.I want to bring him a check,from the race and the pins on ebay. :)

Walking Day #2
I am not sure if my ipod was right today with the time on the stop watch.
I am in awe of it.I never thought I was going to be able to get to this point.I can remember when I was walking this in 90 minutes for just the 4 miles.I had to talk myself up to keep going tonight.And it worked.
Do you want to hear the time?? Well read it???
It gave me goose bumps when I looked at the time. Oh yea I was walking and jogging too.My jogging intervals were a little longer and walked more .I was having a hard time keeping my breathing in tune.This time E did not slow down, and I had to do my best to keep up with him and I had a rough time to keep a 3 persons length or I would have just got real slow.
TIME 1:00:37
DO YOU SEE THE TIME!!!!! i CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
Shaved off another 5 minutes.Can I maintain this??I sure want to.:)
I was so excited when we made it to the house I was without words.I get goose bumps now just thinking about it.
Meals:
B:two engish muffins,with cheese and OJ
L:salad 1 tbsp of dressing,cinnamon bun{ bad I know}
D: home made meat balls,eggs noodles,veggie,1/2 glass milk
D: small piece of brownie,with frozen yogurt.
NO more desserts until next Sunday.
I was canceled today from work so While I was I still up I watch the Big fat looser.I tivo it. I was interested in how they were helping these people loose weight. The whole show was just so inspiring. after watching the show all I wanted to do was go in and jump on E and get him up and get out the door. It comes on Tuesday evenings here and it is worth watching. I have work with people that come in to the hospital that are heavier than some of the ones on the show and it is amazing to see them jogging. Yes jogging.

Happy Labor Day!!!!
Here we all are a new month.The last month before the big 13k.I have been reading everyone's blogs to catch up.We have been so busy trying to get the final touches done on the house so we do not have to worry about it.I will be posting more pictures on E"s my space later today of the bathroom and the customs E has been working on.Yes and our kitchen ceiling is just about done too.
Our roof is done but it did not pass inspection and the roofer has t come back out and correct the errors and they have not done that.The mortgage company is releasing the rest of the money to pay them but we will not pay them till we pass inspection.Then on with the next phase will be closing in the back patio to make another room.
Ok last night we got out there and did 8 miles.We did it in 2:03:12!!!!WE shaved off 11 minutes!!!! That is speed walking.I threw in a small jog at the end.Today is cross train on bikes.
We are down to the last month before the race and I am so pumped up I can't hardly stand myself.I want to shave off more time.I am thinking of the inclines in the road to account for.So random hills here I come.
Also I have mention that I came up with the idea of help raising money for the race.I did.I have an ebay account and I will be selling the large Disney pins on their.I have 4 large ones I want to sell.Plus I am asking everyone at work to sponsor us at the run.I have made a list and those who do sponsor us I will post the list and send them thanking notes.But here's the good part.As long as no one tells Jonathan, I will bring all the money that We have raised,to the Mousefest and present it to him in front of everyone there.I will video tape that and post it.How cool would that be????I will also provide him with the list of people that sponsored us.Well thoughts???Comments??Wanna help???? Oh yes my ebay name is purple04car.
I have a new phone so now when I go out of town I can be in contact.I also can reach the internet from my phone and respond to e mails and blog.I also have messenger too.It's cool.I would like to get the I phone but I am waiting to get that.Waiting on the second generation of it.
Also I bought my domain name.I am trying to do other things with making that a legal non profit business to continue collecting for the cause.It has been very busy here.work classes,kids in school and construction it's busy.
Everyone out there have a blast and a great day!!!!!!!
