HELPERS MAKE ROOF WORK RAPID
Bare boards were all Jonathan and Melanie Scroggins had left of a roof on their Haverhill home.
One big rain and everything inside would be lost.
One day later and 27 people on their roof repairing it.
Divine intervention?
Could be.
Their group of helpers were fellow Jehovah Witnesses. The local group has repaired as many as 100 roofs in the last year and are just back from Mississippi, where they did 10.
The foreman, Moe Senechal, said if it has the materials, his crew, mostly young people, can repair three or four homes in a day. They take photos for building inspectors.
When it came to the Scroggins, there was no time to wait.
"They had no roof, and we know the codes," Senechal said.
