A Roof in One Day

We had another busy weekend at the property, this time it was the roof going on. Who would have thought that 6 men could put a roof on in one day? These were hard working guys. They arrived at 8:00 in the morning, worked with very little break time and drove away at 7:00 that evening. It was a long day for everyone involved and we're so glad it's over but even more happy that we have a roof. We no longer dread the words, "It might rain"! Our carpenters are putting the siding on this week, so we will be dried in when that's completed.

Here's a few pictures from the weekend....

Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures after the roof was completed. Next time!


Here are our stairs, finally done. Now it feels like a house to me because I don't have to go out through the garage, down the side of the house and into the french doors to get in the master bedroom.



For you people who work in construction here's the under side of the stairs. Built to last!


We also moved our 5th wheel from our neighbor's property (where it's been all summer) into our driveway. Thank you to Jerry and Mary Lou for being wonderful hosts and making us feel welcome.

Yes, that is fog you see in this picture. We couldn't even see the water for most of the day. The day dawned sunny, the fog came in sometime in the morning, and in the late afternoon it cleared up for a little while. That's a fairly typical day up on the north coast. What's not to love?

I bet those 6 guys were so bummed at the *aweful* view they had to subject themselves to while roofing your house. If I were them, I'd have taken a little more time at that one job, hehe!

Dude you spelled "awful" wrong and you took my comment! Cheater! I'm telling mom and dad because I was going to say the same sarcastic comment about the workers having a terrible view while they worked!
