That ever present phrase that everyone likes to use and pose as a question; "Have you gotten it dried in, yet?" has been tossed out by many as we near that point in the construction. After 15 days of building have passed, the roof is almost entirely done. Except for the front porch roof, which should be complete by the end of the first week of October, the house is basically "dried in". As I mentioned in an earlier post, we did get a little wet after a couple of soaking rains but now the floors should be sheltered from any further, unwanted, moisture.
To watch the skill of these workers as they took my plans and turned them into a well-constructed roof system was amazing. I know they have done this many times in the pasts and, I am sure, on bigger and more elaborate houses, but it still is a tribute to their craft to see how they can take a design on paper and make it all come together.
