Roof Update 3/24/2008



Well we were able to get the shingles on the roof. We still have to cut in vents but at least it's not raining on the inside!!!

I got home early one day and decide that I wanted the roof up over the area where a fireplace will be in the living room. Doug and I were there until about 10 that night getting the plywood and waterproofing on since it was going to snow the next day.

Things are coming along. 3/5/2008


We had our window order delivered on Feb 29th. Stock Lumber was on my case because they have been storing them for the past 3 months. We had Rachel's cousins out on Saturday to take a look at the roof and see if there was anything they wanted us to do before they show up to start. They didn't say much but I got the impression that it would probably be easier if they did it their way instead of me screwing it up. We should be starting the roofing this weekend.


Lydia and Ava love to come over now that it's warming up. But we have to keep our eye on them since the staircase is open and I took down the temporary railing to get the master bedroom window upstairs.


This is an update picture from Sunday morning. We did get the window in that is above the scaffolding plus another one on the side of the house on Sunday. Hopefully we can finish the windows on the side this weekend.
