Ankle Deep in Shingles

This is what it looks like when all the old shingles on your roof are thrown onto the ground.
You can pay the roofers to pick them up, or....
.

Find cheaper labor.
.

This is our side yard, with all the kids and even our neighbor friend involved in clean-up.
It was the old Tom Sawyer painting the fence scenario again. Gab saw them all knee deep in shingles from across the street and he thought, "what better way to spend the afternoon?"
So he scampered over to join us.
.

Right, Gab?
.

They'd already done the back yard.
.

You couldn't see the green grass when they first began.
.

And in the front yard, Sawyer and Tristan were taking turns with the magnet sweep picking up old nails.
.

The nail sweep was a hot commodity. He who owned it was king.
