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.

It's a start.

The rain finally stopped, and the building has begun. My wife and I took a ride over this morning to see if anything was being done to our house. Driving down the main street leading to the rest of the development we could see a wall in place on our neighbors house across the street. Seeing this, and a couple of workers over there, we assumed no work was being done in our lot. As we got closer we could see that, indeed something was happening in our lot. The pile of wood across the street was merely blocking our view. There were two guys working on putting wood and what looked like some sort of vapor barrier on the foundation. I'm not sure what you'd call this, but it seemed like some sort of baseplate prior to the floor joists going in.

I had to go to work, so I just got an update from my wife. It appears they got most of that baseplate down and lowered some wall sections into the basement. The house across from us has most of the first floor framed, so hopefully we'll be there soon. Can't wait!
