A very constructive day!

Today Dan came over to lend a hand to Dean and Kenny and together got the trusses in place! Here's the first gable end truss going up.

Here's all the trusses up from the inside of the second floor.

And another shot from the ground.

Tomorrow, the doors and windows arrive, but won't be installed until we build the bridge from the existing roof to the new roof and then sheet it. We also need to pick out and purchase shingles and all the other materials needed to put those on. We'll be shingling the entire house with the new shingles as the existing shingles are in sad shape from both age and a nasty windstorm earlier this year. What an improvement that will be! Kenny has also convinced Dean to build that small deck off our new bedroom for the hottub now rather than later. I didn't really care one way or the other, but at least we won't have any nasty accidents involving opening a door out to nowhere! I also get to order my kitchen cabinets and GRANITE countertops tomorrow...Yay!! We're also second guessing our choice of flooring in the kitchen. PERHAPS we may go with hardwood instead of tile...I don't know if Kenny has convinced him of this yet or not. Time will tell. This is another point which I really don't care about...as long as it's not linoleum, I'll be happy. Anyway, guess that's all the news to date. As always, I'll keep you posted!
