Today, they delivered our shingles. The roofers got to work right away on the left side of the house.


They have most of it covered with the special, water-resistant tar paper.



They have all of packages of the shingles laid out accross the roof.



They also stared working on our lighting. We are having recessed lights in most of the house.



The can lights are kind of neat. They are on gliders in between the joists, so they can adjust their position to exactly where we want it to be.

With all the sunny weather the ground has finally dried up some and our backyard isn't a big pile of mud anymore, so Nathan walked out back and took some pictures from there.


This is a view from our back yard.



In this one you can see my dad over on the left of our property.



This is one from the side, so you can see the walk-out basement area.

I haven't been in the basement since it got really cold and muddy, so Nathan went down and took some pictures for me.


Here's a view with all of the windows and the french doors.



Even with some of the poles, we should have a pretty big space down there to use.



In all of the pictures you can see the two heaters they have down there. They used them during the winter to help melt any snow or ice off the house.

Today we went out to the house and tried to make labels where all of the lights should go. This will make it easier for Kendell and his crew to know where we want what.


We even labelled where they light switches should go and what order we wanted them in.



It was a long process, and we still aren't finished with the upstairs yet. It definitley helps to get a feel for the flow of the house though and where things will be.

They completed the plywood on our entire roof today.


I think it really looks neat all connected now.

Today they added the roof line that connects the trusses over the main part of the house and the garage.


We weren't really sure how they were going to do it, but I think it looks pretty good.



Here is a closer look at it.



They also started adding the plywood to the garage roof.



They also placed the permanent pole in our garage. The square black one is the one that will stay, they other two were just used during the process. Kendell has offered to leave the pole as is or to drywall it in to the front of the garage. We are still undecided on which way we want to go.

They continued working on our roofing plywood today.


I'm not sure if I have shared this yet or not, but this will eventually be the transformer for our electric service. They still have to come out and pour the cement pad and then hook it up to our house.

Today, they started adding the plywood to our roof.


They also added the second triangle peek to the front of the house



It feels nice to be inside the house and actually see a roof over your head.



They also added some peaks and different trusses to the back of the house. This is the back of the master bedroom.



They also started working on our electrical today.

This week Michelle released her new I Heart Spring collection. I just love the fun, bright colors. I can't wait until Spring actually gets here.

In honor of my favorite Little Buddy's birthday this week, I decided to scrapbook an older picture of him.

The journaling reads:
little boys need spring, little boys need sunshine and fresh grass, little boys need to run and play

They completed the trusses over the garage


You can really see the shape of the house and roof line now.



Here is the look at the house plan drawing, so you can kind of see how everything lines up and the way it should look eventually.



There's just one more triangular peak that they need to add. You can see the half the right-side of it up now.
