Keep on Shingling

Jacob, Josh and I loaded up the back of Grandpa's (Dad L) pickup truck with wood last night (Grandpa took a day off of work to come down and shingle!! Thanks Grandpa!!) We wanted to be able to move the construction stairs back to where the patio door is out of the great room, so we needed to move the wood out of the way (as that is where I threw it when cleaning out the house!!!).

The heating guy was also in yesterday, and made all his markings for the ducts. He is hoping to get started on Friday. Todd will be cutting them out this evening.

Here are a few more pictures of the shingling. It is moving along nicely. The plumbers will be in next Tuesday or Wednesday to get started on roughing their stuff in. We are hopefully going to be getting the slabs poured on Friday, but we will see how the weather looks.

More Shingles

The weather just wouldn't cooperate yesterday. It was supposed to get up to 10 degrees, but it certainly didn't make it to that temperature while we were shingling. The shingles were a little hard to work with, and everyone's fingers got a little cold, but they kept on working. Luckily, we didn't get any rain.

We are doing a Closed Valley for all of the valleys. This means that you will not see the valley flashing as the shingles overlap (I quite like the look of it).

Shingles

Here are a few pictures of the work done so far this morning. Thanks to Russ for joining us and helping out today.

Shingling over the office and the dormer.
