how bloody exciting is all I have to say about it. I have two friends that work right next to placemakers and saw the roof come off and go flying about in the air. Then my BIL and 2 nephews were standing at their window at home and watched it come towards them...BIL then said, mmm I think we had better move and they ran to the middle of the house then bam! Off came their roof
So exciting, I will be seeing the nephews tomorrow (6 and 8 years old) and I can imagine that they will be hard to shut up about it all

PS, that first pic of the roof in the tree, the building behind it is where one of my friends work and they all were standing there at the window frozen watching the whole roof come towards them....if it wasn't for that tree they would have been in major trouble!
Deb, bet your hubby is amped when he gets home after work today!
