Not because I'm a slacker, but because of beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and mountains of laundry (plus a few doctor's appointments and a baseball game and a broken dishwasher), I have fallen a long way behind on my chronicle of this building adventure.
The progress can be summed up in a couple of words: roof and roof. Actually, the masons were here again to put a row of bricks around so Jimmy could fill in around the foundation, too.
I'm afraid I don't have these pictures sorted by day, but these first few I took last week.

| Shingles going up! |
 |
| New masonry work and dirt filled in |
 |
| End of Monday (I think)--Doesn't that roof look nice? |
That's the end of the pictures I took. The day before yesterday and yesterday, I sent boys out to take pictures. This is just a sampling of what they thought was important enough for pictures.

| This is the pipe for radon that's required in Maryland. It's between closets. |

| This is Jimmy's dump truck. The backhoe wasn't parked here. |

| West side of roof--finished! |

| Scaffolding |

| East side of roof-- finished! |

| ????? |
 |
| And. . . scaffolding! |
From what I understand, the roof cap is going on today. I should add that more work was done inside (studs and such, maybe?), but I just haven't had a chance to figure it all out. I do know that I've been hearing some rumblings of electrical stuff coming up sometime soon.
Is this an addition to your home? My husband is strongly considering add an addition. . .I would rather move (I think!).
ReplyDeleteThis is our home, but it is not our house. We live in the parsonage provided by our church (my husband is a pastor). The church is adding on to the parsonage so we can have some more room, and there is no end to my thankfulness for this. :)
