The Roof arrives....




From mid December until Christmas we installed a metal roof. It was a lot of work as this is our first metal roof installation. Funny, we haven't had any rain lately. There is still a lot of flashing and gasket installation that needs to take place but we are close. Our goal was to have the house dried in by the new year but it looks like early to mid January will be the date. Soon after this we will install the solar hot water panels. The masons have begun placing the brick skirt around the West and South side of the house.
Windows and siding are coming up. We have been collecting the windows from recycle yards and Craig's list and have most of what we need. There are a few pieces on the East and North elevations that will be custom made with glazing units from a local supplier. We are also waiting for the roof vents to arrive. These will be located on top of the roof at the East and West ends.
