We’ve Got Roof! We’ve Got Roof!

The shingles were completed and the next day the rains returned.  I think that’s the first time during this project where timing was perfect!

And the next week we had screen on the back porch.  At last a place to relax during weekend visits.

The Trusses Have Arrived

The last couple of weeks the rains have pretty much held off even though skies have often been gray.  This has allowed things to progress quickly.  Hopefully this trend will continue for a while longer so they can finish the roof while everything is dry.

The Frame Begins To Take Shape

After they stood the walls up and added another floor the building began to look more like a house.  Amazing to me that these pictures are just a week after the last ones.  From flat to two stories in a matter of days.

Horizontal Walls?

I guess I figured when walls got build they were perpendicular to the floor.  That’s why I hired professionals to build this place.  Who would have known you build the walls right on the floor?

The Cement Mixer Was Here

Had to wait a little for the rains to subside but eventually the cement trucks were able to get in and voila, a basement began to take shape.
