I am thankful for shingles

The roofers finished the shingles (except for a couple places where they're waiting on the brick to go in) on Saturday! I think the roof looks great . . . see for yourself.

Our new roof!

Our house is now dryed in.

The shingle color is called "Black Shadow".

The 10/12 pitch makes the roof hard to walk on, but isn't it pretty?

While the roof went in, we've been working on putting in more blocking in the porches.

Adam and Brian started sheathing the porch ceiling.

We also started putting in the permanent columns in the porches. See the metal at the bottom? We had to drill into the concrete to put that there - we are finally done with the concrete drill!

The inspector came back out on Tuesday to look at our wall sheathing and gave us a new list of corrections to make. So, we're not quite through with all that - We plan on making the corrections this weekend so we can get our house wrap and windows in soon. We also need to do all of our wall penetrations.

So, this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for shingles. I'm also thankful for a hardworking husband that is putting so much of himself into building this house for me. I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends. What are you thankful for?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
