So now the windows & the roofing!

We changed the entrance and windows on the screened in porch
Lots more view now!

The side of 2 bedrooms with one window looking over lake!
A view from the lake with the windows installed
It is starting to come together as a house!!

Now the roofing, the sun is shining so it is hard to tell the color but it is deep brown
with high definition

The roofers way up high!
They are so brave!

This is a true color photo of the roof color-deep brown with darker brown 
almost black highlights and yes the lake is frozen
We have walked out on it several times to take an extended look @ the whole project!

Are you saying "What is that?"  It is the drip edge in the color-copper penny(not real copper)
All those details-we had seen it on another house and really liked the accent it gave the roof
It will make better sense when the fascia is slipped up under it!

We walked out onto the frozen lake trying to get a picture of the top of the roof!

The sun is shining just over the roof!

This was actually the first shot.  The 1st picture was the best!  It's all wrapped up for our
Anniversary present!!

The roofer is ready to put the shingles on starting Monday the 6th (Cyndil's B-day)

You can see the lake in the background!
It is getting close to being enclosed!!

Setting the trusses for the garage!

The trusses are being delivered by crane!

The trusses laying on the ground next to the garage--ready!


The first trusses being hand lifted up because the crane couldn't lift them, the power lines
were in the way!
Half of them are up with the other half to go!

Two of the men working on UP on the trusses.  Those monkeys!

Almost done!  It's starting to finally look like a house!

The 2nd Floor is being framed today!

We have just had an incredible snow storm Wednesday & Thursday the 18th &  19th of January!  It put down over a foot of snow in 2 days so they were able to start framing under the garage and the men will start the framing of the garage next Monday so I will post pictures as they appear!!  yeah!  great progress!  We met with one guy this week and will meet with another guy next week about log accents!

So these are the walls for the 2 bedrooms side by side

The Laundry/Bathroom is on the Left and the 3rd Bedroom is on the right.
These are on the opposite end of the 2 Bedrooms previously.

A closer shot to the entry doors to the Laundry on Left and Bedroom on Right with a storage room on the front right side!

A more direct View of the 2 Bedrooms side by side!
