Ready for Shingles!!!

Looks like we are ready for shingling next weekend--any helpers??? I was in at Home Hardware today to get a quote on shingles and all the other supplies. I am going to check at Home Depot, and Totem tomorrow, as well as Roof Mart (which specializes in roofing materials--go figure with a name like that!!!)


Sunday's Work
Leo and his crew were up today to put rebar in the the garage so that the floors can be poured this week. Looks like we will be bringing in a pumper truck to put the floor in in the basement.


We are now accepting guests at the front door!!!


The entire house is now sheathed--we were missing a few sheets on this west wall (you can see it in the previous post-I do believe).


This afternoon, a few more windows were put into place. We now have a total of 15 windows in, plus the front door. I lied earlier about there only being a total of 22 windows--we still have about 20 windows to put in, plus 3 patio (sliding) doors, and 3 doors.


Windows in the master bedroom. Our bed will sit between these 2 windows, with a side table under each window.

The west wall of the house, as well as part of the south wall. We won't be putting in any more windows until the shingles are done, as we need to lean ladders up against the upper part of the roof, etc.



Saturday's Work (and Party!!!) Great room completely sheathed with the roof extension and overframing completed on the back peak (can't see that from this angle!!)

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!


Office dormer sheathed.

Header in above window--still needs to be sheathed.
