This is how the week began, foundation, floor, and walls but open sky.
With one eye on the weather reports, on Thursday, then men tore off our house roof. We had replaced the front of our house roof several years ago. We didn't do the back in hopes of doing this addition soon. But with more shingles flying off in every wind, it was time to get the job done. They also put in the supports for the porch.
Early Friday morning, the trusses were delivered. Things moved quickly as the rafters were set in place.
Inside the children helped make soft pretzels for a morning snack.
We have been so blessed by all the help our families have given us on this project. We couldn't have begun to do it without them.
By noon all the rafters were up...
...and it was time for a pizza break.
By evening, the whole front roof was covered with shingles.
Saturday, my dad, brothers, nephews, and friends began work on the back of the roof.
Some of the men worked inside, putting in supports and the inside studs.
The roof is almost finished.
And even a few windows were put in.
Look at the change a few days can bring! I'm dreaming of paint and furniture - though I know we are a few steps away yet!
