Week 3 & 4

Mr. Weatherman was right....our project got postponed a couple of times due to rain. Week 3 brought the laying of insulation and a floor. That insulation is going to feel toasty on the tootsies this winter!

And then it rained some more, so that was the extent of week 3.

Week 4 started out with, you guessed it, more rain but only for a day. Things dried out nicely and the walls went up.

One of the things we miss about our Elmwood house was the amount of storage, so we have incorporated a 5' x 23' closet into the new space. This will also give our future grandchildren (hint, hint) plenty of places to play hide and seek! :-)

Today brought a very large truck, which delivered the trusses (another new vocabulary word for me). Thanks to Jared, who snapped this pic, we were able to see what they had to do to get them loaded onto the roof (Roger and I were working and missed all the fun).

And just like that, we have a roof.

We are getting excited since we can now see the shape and size of our room. I can almost imagine myself sitting on the couch with TV remote in hand. Woohoo!! More to come next week.
