Roof's On


The roofers made their first visits on Friday and Monday. Jeff was quite glad to be finished with the tarps, and they are now relegated to our trash pile (if anyone has a use for beat up tarps let us know). We are glad we don't have to make any more evening trips to arrange various containers to catch the leaks. The roofer will come back out after all the penetrations are in place and the bay window and front entry areas are complete.

Our trash pile has also started to shrink. One of our neighbors stopped by and asked for the wood to burn in his fireplace. He spent quite a bit of time today getting lumber and hauling it back to his house. It's a great solution for both of us. He gets a free wood pile, and we don't have to pay to get it hauled off.

Things are starting to move a little faster now. The framer should be finishing up in the next week or two. The mason tore our chimney back down to be flush with the second floor, and he will build it back up with brick as soon as weather permits. The plumber was out today and the plumbing rough in should be ready for inspection on Thursday. We will post more pictures as things progress.
