Our roofers started installing the shingles on the roof on Tuesday! Let me back up . . . we finished sheathing the walls last week. We put in more blocking in the porches on Sunday. The roofers put the metal on the roof Sunday and Monday. We got our roofing and wall sheathing inspection on Monday. We passed for the roof portion and started putting shingles on Tuesday. The wall sheathing still needs more work - mostly adding nails and trimming off the OSB, so it doesn't touch the concrete. We are working on these changes and hope to get a reinspection of the wall sheathing soon.
I think we're on track to finish the roof this week. Adam and his dad have been working (during the freezing nights) to get the 1x2 trim on the fascia boards, so the roofers can install the drip edge. They finished that tonight. Adam has also put in most of the plumbing vent roof penetrations. It's looking great so far - but, I don't have my pictures with me to put up on here - sorry! (To justify myself, the pictures aren't that good anyway because I've only been out there when the sun is setting, cause the sun sets too early these days.)
As soon as we pass the wall sheathing inspection, we'll cover the house in Tyvec wrap and put the windows and flashing in. It's so exciting to put finishes on the house that are final. I'm hoping the brick will be in by the time we take our Christmas picture :). I'll try and get roof pictures up soon, sorry I've been so behind with posting. We've been working very hard - especially Adam - and are doing as much as possible to keep things moving. I'm really enjoying watching the progess - I've been out there swinging a hammer too, though not nearly as often as Adam.
