The roof takes shape!

At the end of the 19th day, the contractor started on the roof over the new bedrooms and at the porch - just so we can get the idea of the height.

The roof over the new bedrooms.

Here you get an idea of the height of the roof.

 


By the end of the 20th day, he got much of the roof framed over the addition.  I was going to go out and take some pictures from the street, but CT went out early this morning and got this roof shot - much better than from the street view, that's for sure!

What a view!

 
When the contractor worked on tearing the roof apart and giving us the "skylights" in the old bedrooms, we had to move the boys out of their rooms.  The two younger boys slept in the family room for two nights.  They could not sleep...they thought it was a slumber party!  They could have moved back in after the first night, but there was still debris coming off the roof and into the bedrooms.  So the contractor staples some plastic sheets over the plywood and that seems to do the trick in keeping bits of old roofing material out of the bedrooms.

Yesterday I locked myself at home and made myself put the boys rooms back together (I say that loosely).  Mostly just their mattress and a few other items like a lamp, etc. to make it liveable/useable.  CET was so excited to have his "room" back that he put an extra blanket over his bed, got out of his clothes and into his pajamas, got some books and put himself into bed and started reading.  It was too cute.  I even took video....but don't ask me to post it unless someone can tell me how to do that.

Oh, look....blogger makes this so easy!  Here's the video...sorry it's sideways!
