A Roof!

These pictures were taken over several days time that show the roof going on.











Notice how he is strapped to the roof as a safety precaution.







Finished! Now it needs tar paper, inspection, and then shingles.





The saleslady said we should be in by December.
The builder said by November.
Johnny says the middle of December. We'll see who's right.

    Hi Sally--it's great seeing these photos of the progress on your house. I could never be a construction worker up on a roof no matter what safety gear I used. I'm so glad there are people out there who love doing it. I hope you are in your new home in time for Christmas.

    Yahoo, Sally! It's getting closer! And you have blue skies there too. You'll have to have a virtual tour of your home when it is complete.

    Congratulations. You will have to keep us posted on the progress and we will see who wins the "move in" month guess. After all, it is always a guesstimate.

    Blessings,

    So things are really moving along! Hope the November date is the correct one (builders should know, right?). Those shots of the roofers are great - a little nervous-making, though!

    I'm with Lorrie. I can get woozy just looking at pictures of people in high places.

    Have you thought of writing messages on the studs? We didn't find anything interesting when we remodeled our home, but I left messages on some of the uprights in case a future owner does remodeling of their own.

    How exciting. Reminds me of when we first moved here. Ours was the first house completed on our cul-de-sac. We watch all the others being built and of course would make a little tour through them when the workers were all gone.
    I hope it's finished in November.

    I am so excited for you, Sally!! I want to wager the end of November, but I hear the electricity and plumbing is the longest.

    I remember when the Summerhouse was being built. I watched most of the process and when they lifted the walls, my heart skipped a beat. Amazing how things are built and the talent of those builders!

    Hi again Sally.
    I just gave you an award on my Scottsdale blog. Hope you don't have too hard a time getting the blog to come in. I'll be glad when you get a faster internet connection. I know how frustrating that can be.

    Hi Sally,I also wondered why the sheep wore covers on their bodies. The sheep cannot be shorn if their coat is wet. It takes a whole year to grow their coat and it is imperative to keep the wool clean and dry before they are shorn.
    Now we both know. I will add that info to my post. I am leaving this post up for tomorrow. It took hours to post it and I'm giving more of my friends a chance to visit. I also added a link to the Mt Bruce Station website.

    Hugs...Jeanne

    I wish the builder would be right but I doubt it. I think Johnny is the one that may know. Regardless, it's looking good!
