A decision made!

I was having a hard time deciding on exactly what shingles to go with, but now that we need them for this weekend, I've had to make a decision. We are going with a 25 year IKO shingle--Aristocrat, Driftwood coloring. We are planning on having either olive green siding or a dark beige siding, so I figured these shingles would look best. They will hopefully be dropped off either tomorrow or Thursday. We are going to be getting the shingles from Roofmart, here in Calgary, but we will be getting the rest of the roofing supplies from the local (Okotoks) Home Hardware.

It also sounds as though the garage slab and basement slab will be poured tomorrow, as long as it is not raining too hard. Since we don't have shingles on yet, rain could come through the roof and make a mess of the floor, so we will see. We may end up putting up some tarps to keep the rain out.
Roofing will hopefully only take about 3 weekends, if we are lucky. Todd plans to work on it after work as well for the next few weeks, so we will see!!
Our heating contractor was out last week to determine where we would place the vents, so he should be starting in the near future as well.
It seems to be all coming together, so keep your fingers crossed!!!
