It's been a weird week- very hot and RAIN!  But I have two windows installed and a beautiful patio door in to the screen porch, deck boards on the screen porch connecting the porch to the new kitchen, the front entry all framed in and ready for porch boards, the interior completely framed for the pocket door and all interior walls in the entry and pantry areas, and yesterday the roofers showed up (once the rain finally stopped) and did major tear-off on the roof- all shingles removed on the lower roof.... and then it RAINED AGAIN- bucket loads and high winds.  This morning...beautiful but humid.  Roofers back and did tear-off on the little house south side and big house north side....and then got north side water shielded, tarpapered and shingled!  Started on little house south side when clouds blew up but everything was tarpapered so dry and safe.  RAINED like crazy so they quit for the day....to return tomorrow.

The new shingle color is beautiful.  I chose a tabbed shingle with variation of color in the "tabs" so it appears as a random grey, brown, drk gry mix of color.  With the grey cedar siding and the brown gutters and flashing it really looks sharp.  Standing on the ground looking up at the newly completed roof it finally looks "right" instead of the odd brown color we had before..... note to self- only one person should be in charge of selecting the colors used on a house, especially the exteriors where you live with those choices for a LONG TIME!!!

I will have photos up soon...
