Day 66: The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is On Fire -- Quite Literally


As you can kind of see from this back shot, the roofing continues -- it involves a lot of torching, which we can hear... as well as a lot of pounding and dropping of heavy material on the roof, which we can both hear and feel. Remarkably, I haven't noticed any new cracks in our walls despite all of that pounding -- but I should add, "yet."



Here's the ceiling of the family room, facing the driveway (hence the magenta flowers you see via the window). The speaker cables now droop in between the recessed lights. I'm getting excited about this room -- combined with our kitchen, we're developing a pretty nice gathering place.



And here's the tubing now in place on the TV wall, with wires going back and forth (as well as the speaker wires coming in).



The whirlpool is in place and filled with water -- but that required the builders to take down part of the bathroom framing. Now that it's in, it's also now even more obvious that this bathroom's gonna be tiny. Should we have sprung for more of a master bathroom? I guess the question is moot now.



I do wonder if they're going to have to move the bathroom door a tad to the left, however, since it's butting up to the tub pretty hard.



And now, the roof. Our existing house's roof had just been redone a year before we bought it, so this is kind of redundant. But if the goal is to merge the old and new roofs to avoid any problems, then I'm all for it. Still don't get, then, why the old and new remain seperated... but I'm hoping there's a reason for that. On the bright side, this should hopefully resolve the issue we had that led to the roof leak in our kitchen ceiling last year.
