The roof is now completely framed above the great room, and mostly framed around the office. They've removed most of the scaffolding so you can really feel what the room is going to be like now. When they first took the old roof off, the room felt very big. When they started framing the roof and had all the scaffolding on, it didn't seem quite so big. But now that they have finished the framing and have removed most of the scaffolding, you can really get a sense of what the room is going to be like. And I think it's going to be the perfect size -- I've mapped out where all the furniture is going to go (although I'm not sure that Kurt and I completely agree on the location of the piano... but we have plenty of time to mentally move it from one end of the room to the other).
Our contractor says that we should be getting a new roof (shingles, I mean) very soon -- possibly this upcoming week. The windows are already here (but haven't been delivered yet), so presumably this means that within a week or two the house will be completely watertight! Kurt will have one of his three objectives met so everything is looking pretty good! We've been so lucky to have dry weather. I suspect like last year the rains will start soon, and if the weather is like last year, it will rain for quite a few days. So I'm very thankful that it's been so dry during this period of time.
