House Update #3

Wow. For all the thumb-twiddling we've had to do during the rain and waiting for delayed deliveries...when these guys get going, they go fast. We started with a slab this morning and now we have a framed new room all tied in to the roof and a shower skylight that we can actually see through- a big difference from the old, clouded over one. They finished the roof on the back half of the house today (the lion's share of time today was spent tieing the new roof into the old)- the front half they'll finish in no time tomorrow. I made it about 20 minutes this morning with all the banging and hammering before I threw the dogs in the car and camped out at my parents' until I picked up the kids from school. Headache, anyone?

New roofline. There are two windows covered up by plywood here- there will be one on the far right that is the same size as the smaller one on the left and the one in the middle is really twice the size of the other two but they've got plywood over part of it, too.

They had to cut one of the main trunks of our Crepe Myrtle tree- makes me sad b/c it's a big, pretty tree.

A shot from our current back door- you can see where the windows really are from this view
- not sure why they covered some parts up with plywood and not others.
