July 16th...more roof

The guys didn't work Monday and Tuesday at the house, but on Wednesday and Thursday, they put up more rafters on the roof. I have some pictures to show, but our new puppy, Emmy, decided that chewing on my camera cord would be a good idea. After I get a new cord, I'll post the pics. The new rafters are on the north side of the porch/exercise room and over Ty's playroom. I think the guys only have Ty's bedroom, and the front and back porch left. I can't remember if the dining room has rafters or if that roof is part of the back porch roof. Anyway...it looks great. I'm sure there's all kinds of bracing and stuff to be done before the decking can be put on the roof, but what do I know? That's why we are paying someone else to do this! That brings me to a good point. Before we started building, I looked for blogs that dealt with home builds and came up with a couple. But to my surprise, there weren't very many. Since I have never built a house before, I wanted to know what I was getting into from someones personal experience. I've talked to a lot of people about their experiences, but time frames blur and memories fade...that is one of the reasons I decided to write this blog. I know there are a few other people out there that might want to know what they are getting into before they start. We've heard so many people say that if our marriage can survive building a house, it can survive anything! Well...it hasn't been bad so far. But that may be because our contractor, Mr. Price is so wonderful. The other reason I am writing this blog is so that I could have a memory of the house build and share it with my family that lives out of town.
