Memorial Weekend is over

And it no longer rains inside the house! All tar paper is on the roof.

May 25 Morning

I had to call it morning, because by tonight there will be tar paper across the south section roof!

South Section has Rafters

This is the master bedroom side of the house -- Looking good! Front view and back view...Nice bay window in my bathroom, huh?

North Section ready for Shingles!

He's pretty much ready for shingles on the north section and that side porch (on the left). Now he is putting the sheathing on the south section (Master bedroom), and then I think doing all the shingles at the same time. Looking good right?

First picture is the front, second is the back view.

New side porch

It was too dark to take a good picture so I'll just give this preview of our new side porch - it will have these columns, but no railings, I think...I don't always know.

This is the porch that will greet you on the north side of the house as you drive up. He sure did this fast...he is out there right now putting on the last of the sheathing...I think he will be ready to start on the other side of the house in the morning...he sure works fast.

Sheathing on North Wing

Sheathing is on the north section of the house -- also started on the side porch. We won't get rained on while we are unlocking the door on the side of our house! About 5 or 6 weeks ago this north section was just a slab

Chicken Coop

Here is the beginnings of our chicken coop. My hubbie and my dad are building this for me for my birthday last month -- the chicks are excited about getting out there and pecking at the weeds! You see the hubster and kids in the background on the lawnmower -- cute!

Rafters and Facia mostly done

This is still the north wing of the house -- he got the rafters up there and most of the facia work done. Probably get the plywood on the roof within a week!

North "wing" ready for rafters

My how time flies! Already ready for rafters and to think only a few weeks ago this portion of the house was just a little slab.

Ready for Sheating - North & South Sections

Here is one last look before the north and south flanks get their sheating installed -- we passed our "hurricane connectors" inspection yesterday so the hubster is out there installing the bottom row of sheating right now. You can see the first pieces going on the bottom right corner on the last picture -- the pictures are all the way around the house from each of the four corners.

I thought I'd capture it all before it changes it look once again...once all the sheating goes on, we'll begin the roof of these two sections!
