WE HAVE A ROOF!

It's a huge relief to know there won't be puddles in the house next time it rains.  And I like it.  It took a few days, but I really do like the roof.  

 

The builder wasted no time and is taking steps to dry things out.  The vapor barrier was installed in the crawlspace and there is a big heater out back with two ducts blowing hot air under the house.  Even though windows are 4 weeks away, we can still get things as dry as we can in the meantime.

They cleaned out the garage today and rebar and supplies were delivered.  The concrete floor will be poured on Monday.

Roofing Day 5?

The roofers told us they'll finish tomorrow and we believe them.  So close!

Final Roofing Delivery

Ahhh...the sweet sight of roofing supplies.  🙂  

They plan to get back at it tomorrow and should be done Wednesday.  The weather seems to be cooperating with that plan too.

Our interior door walk-thru is Thursday so we're making sure all the swings are how we want them.  We also have barn door decisions to make.  And we need to choose a stain color for the front door.  We're never without house homework of some kind.

Tween Cave / Dog House

Yes, we've outgrown our current home to the point Mason is now hanging out in the dog house.  He's even run an extension cord so he can listen to his audiobook without running out of battery.

Jeremy and the kids built this out of construction scraps.  Maybe someday it'll have real siding too.  🙂

Roofing Day 4(ish)

Supply chain issues are something we've struggled with during this build, and they've struck again.  The roofing material needed to finish our job didn't arrive in time.  The good news is they should be able to finish early next week.

Roofing Day 3

I have to admit I didn't like the roof on day one.  But now I do.  I'm used to a metal roof so it took a bit to adjust.  

The goal is to finish tomorrow.  Not sure if they'll make it but they're trying!

Roofing Day 2

More roofing progress.  And the roof is growing on me.  I don't dislike it as much as I did yesterday.  

The excavator came to smooth out the ruts in the yard and lay a fresh coat of gravel on the driveway.  And the framer must have stopped by because the post base boxes are built.
