Whaaaa? Can this be real?

Ok, here it is folks....roof.  Real live roof!  Not quite done, but come Monday, it will be.  They just have the other side and some details to finish up.  YAY!

Nice skylights!  The furthest one is deeper because it's an opener.
The roofers still have clean up...Monday.

And, can you believe it...WINDOWS!  Yup, Gene and I went out this morning at 8:30, had all 7 windows in by 9:45.  (There's 3 more 4x4 windows on the other side.)  The openings were beautifully square and perfectly sized so the windows slipped right in.

Don't you like the plastic sheeting?  Adds an air of..well, red neck vulnerability, don't you think?  Hey, it's keeping the upstairs dry, sort of, we just couldn't get it to the top to seal it completely.  That wall is low priority right now.

Oh...and we got the new garage door in yesterday.  No pictures yet, because, well, it's nothing short of butt ugly.  Ordered brown, figured if it worked it worked, if it didn't we'd paint it.  I started painting it this afternoon.  Looks a lot better even with the first thin coat on!  Gawd, it was horrible!  The roofers tried to spin it to make it better, but, they weren't convincing.  Their 'spin' capabilities fall short of politicians, but we give them credit for trying.

Next step???...gutters.  Wednesday.  And Gene's going to start laying out the floor system inside the shop tomorrow.

It's taking shape!  Gawd, that roof looks good!

Now, my martini is waiting.  Oh, wait it's not 5 o'clock yet.  Pfffttt...too bad.

Party on!
