Finished roof....

Through the trees.

And, from the back...again.

We're thrilled with the roofers work!  Great work and a great group of guys.   It's the first time we've ever hired roofing done, and glad we did!  Gawd, we're just getting too old for that piece of construction!

Garage

BEFORE
(after tornado)

AFTER
Ok, the door still isn't that stylin' but unless we wanted to spend
thousands on one, this is it.

Ok, I have to admit...this is not only a new garage door, but we got the first garage door opener in our lives...unless you count Gene and his biceps.  And, being the first, we're having a little trouble figuring it out.  So far, we're blaming the electric safety eye at the bottom because it won't close easily.  It'll come down only so far and then go back up.  And the level it comes down to before returning changes every time.  Even the 'override' button doesn't work.  Gawd.  Those of you who know us know we're techies, but this has us baffled.  The manual?  Puuleezze, an AutoCAD manual is easier to make sense of!  It doesn't make sense even when turned upside down!  Now, that's BAAAD!  Maybe it was the paint fumes...

The garage is all done except for a detail on the front and one along the right side.  But, the painting is done!  We spent all day Sunday painting...while the weather was warm enough for paint to dry!

Gene meets with the electrical contractors today to talk wiring.   Gutters tomorrow.  This week we'll get the last bit of plywood up on the North end of the shop (you can see the space in the top pic). Then we'll move inside to start the floor structure...and the electrical!  YAY!  Oh, yah, and to move those 2 big piles of plywood into dry space...not so 'yay'.

We're so thrilled to have it a dry space!  OMG!

Party on!
