The House Project: Starting To Roof

We went up there today partly to confirm that we received the correct jetted tub. (The builder was expecting something doublewide--this is deep, and intended to sit facing each other.) But while were there, we took some pictures of the roof trusses--all of which are now in place.

Here you can see the interior arches as well.

When I look at them--while do I think of the ribs that make up the ceiling of a cathedral? (Okay, this isn't quite that grand.)

Here you can see that they have started to roof at one end of the house.

Here are the shower stalls, shower/tub combo, and jetted tub stacked up in the garage.

Just a little picture of the inside of the shower stall.

The back driveway has a rather odd swirl, perhaps from running some piece of machinery over it. I'm hoping this gets fixed during the final finish of the concrete.

The electric meter is now moved from its temporary position to the permanent breaker box.

And the ugly pole where the meter was temporarily has now been removed, leaving only the ugly transformer box.

Another view of the roof from the water cistern hill. As we were walking up the hill--a red fox ran up the hill within 25 feet of me. Our duck is going to require an appropriate protective enclosure!

Oh yeah, the propane tank is waiting to be buried. To Rhonda, it reminds her of an off-color version of the title gadget of Yellow Submarine, so she gives an appropriately nautical salute.
