We have shingles.

Haven't blogged in a few days, but I wanted to wait until the roof was complete. They started to put the shingles on Thursday, but only got the main portion of the roof done. It rained overnight into Friday and again on Saturday, so nothing was done. Surprisingly I saw them working on the house this morning, finishing the roof. I couldn't believe they were working on a Sunday.

We also have our siding and shutters sitting in the front yard, and pipe for the plumbing in the garage. Can't wait to see the house with the siding on, will update then. For now here are some new pictures.









The wife and I also had to put something on one of the studs inside before they get covered up with insulation and drywall. Just kept it simple.


We're also huge Seinfeld fans, so I had to add this to the powder room on the first floor.

This one is from down the street. It's starting to look like a neighborhood now. Our house is on the right. To the far left is a Ravenna, then fellow blogger Frank Andre's Rome is the white one. Tucked in the back is another Ravenna.

  2. Love the idea of putting a message on the studs! We may have to steal that idea. I saw someone else post that they wrote bible scriptures - love that! Can't wait to see what it looks like with siding - glad to see how quickly you are moving along!

    1. Can't take credit for that. I first saw it on ChrissieG's blog. http://fromphillytoaflorence.blogspot.com/
      We liked the idea so we copied it.

  4. Looking good! They probably put our shingles on over the weekend or yesterday! Exciting stuff! I can't wait for our siding either! That's when things are really going to look real!

    I love that you wrote on the studs! We are planning on doing that too! We were going to do it last weekend but I forgot my marker and we were losing daylight!
