Rain rain go away!!!


It is time to put on a roof.  I thought that they would take off the old before they put on the new but this spring has been so wet that it was wiser to do everything possible before removing the roof.  The rafters were put on quickly.


Here comes the second story rafters.  The new pitch is going to be so much nicer on our six foot tall heads.
Here is what is going on inside.  We got the room empty except for the children and are getting ready to roll up the carpet. 
This is the room after the roof came off.  The threat of rain made a real push and it was only uncovered for two days.  We only had one major down pour during that time and all the water was diverted to the construction side using tarps.  I was really glad not to have a waterfall in my kitchen.














Viola and just like that it is all back together.  Well not quiet.  The old bedroom floor had to be ripped up and additional joist added to strengthen the floor.  It is so interesting to see how it all was put together.  That was a real noisy day, but they managed to get all reinforced without damaging the ceiling below.   Now a lot of inside work will be done; the electrical and plumbing.  Doors and windows will shortly be added.
