Today was a whirlwind of activity from start to finish. The roofers and the shingles arived first thing as I stumbled from the house - almost awake. It took a whle and a lot of effort from the roofing crew to stack the 65 squares of shingles along the ridge of the roof. Once the truck was loaded the crew began nailing themonto the roof. It looked great but I did not manage to get a good picture. Tomorrow I'll be sure to grab some.

The carpenters split into two teams. One continued work on the front gable and soffits. The other team worked on framing inside walls, defining each room at last. The whole inside of the house quickly came together and it instntly became apparent how big each room would be. Years of planning, measuring and more planning suddenly became real.

Each day we have to use our imaginations less to 'see' the house and each room in it. It is very exciting!
