Construction- Week Four

With all the rain that we had this week, we only got in three days of work- but they really accomplished a lot. It started with the siding and windows going in on Monday. Finally, after heavy rains, on Friday, the trusses came. They used a crane to lift them over the house and into place in the back.

They laid the trusses on the outer wall of the addition and they laid on the existing roof.

This is what it looked like when they finished on Friday. Since they wanted to make up for lost time, they stayed all day Saturday to finish up the roof so it would be "dryed in" for Monday.

I have to admit, it is really strange to look out my kitchen window and really SEE our addition before my eyes. I really think that it will serve us well and will be very functional for us. Maybe it's not the most stylish addition ever done, but I think it will really work for our family. From now on the work is supposed to go really fast. I'm excited to see the interior walls go in and the roof go on!
