Atalaya 2019 - Roof Disaster

From the inside of the church, it's not such a pretty picture.  Prior to leaving Juarez, I had discovered a potential budget issue, since materials in Mexico cost a significantly more than materials just over the border in El Paso.  Yes, we had received a huge donation in shingles, but the handling and transport of those shingles used about the same budget as buying shingles for this project down south.  Of course we have shingles now for the next few projects, at least, but for this project, the budget was a break even.  So, before leaving, it was up in the air whether we would have funds available to rebuild the roof entirely, or if we could use some of the structure that was there, and just redo the sheeting and shingles.  Obviously, when we arrived and viewed the condition, the answer was obvious - we had to start from scratch.  We were able to reuse the sill plates, which was nice, and we also came across a lumber yard in Torreon' that was willing to work with us a little on the price.

Thank God!  *Deep Breath*
