The carpenters started to put the roof on, but it is slow going. The roof has a 9x12 pitch and is pretty steep. Too steep, in fact, for anyone to walk up it on just wood. They have to attach 2x4s to the plywood to stand on and work their way up. They are saying it will be 3-4 days just to sheet the roof with wood. Meanwhile, it was really windy on Friday and snowed on Saturday, hampering their work. They have also started on the interior framing in the basement, hoping to stay mostly out of the elements. I was concerned about the weather hurting the house, but everything should be fine at this point. Here are some pics.

A look at a bedroom and bathroom in the basement with a lovely and excited Rebecca. That room is under the Master Bath. |

Here are the stairs coming into the basement. |

Here is a shot of Rebecca standing in the downstairs Family Room. This will be left unfinished. We hope to make it into a Theater/Game Room eventually. |

Here is a shot of the main floor family room. You are looking out the back of the house at the fireplace.

Here is a shot of the back of the house. You can see the 2x4s attached to the plywood so the workers can stand up and work on the roof. |
