We have a roof!!!!!!!!

Spring is here (I think, I hope!!), the snow is gone, the weather is cooperating at least and the roof is finally on...

The trusses arrived on January 9th but half of them were the wrong size and had to be sent back and redone. That put us behind another 4 days, and the saga of who made the mistake went on until yesterday. We never really figured it out, but in the end it cost more money, of course!

After the trusses were up, we had to decide if Gerry and Claude would install the plywood or if we would get the roofer to do it. The roofer we had picked changed his price 3 times (one really great price before Christmas (Xmas present?), one a bit more expensive after Christmas (maybe he needed to pay for Xmas!?) and one even more expensive after that!) So we decided to install the plywood ourselves AND get a new roofer (to avoid another surprised price increase!).

Installing the trusses took about a week, another week and a bit for the plywood and the fascia and five days for the the shingles.

Now we're at putting up the rest of the foam (instead of plywood) around the house and installing the doors and windows. We will soon be at lockup!
