A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

In this case, those words are actually only one word. 1000 times... SORRY!!!

So the "crisis" with our roof, is no longer a crisis. Why? Because it's perfect!! It was just a really, really bad camera angle!

Just a refresher... This is what our house is supposed to look like:

This is what I thought it looked like:

And this is what it ACTUALLY looks like:

Ahhhh... Big sigh of relief! After apologizing profusely to the framer, my dad, the roof truss guy and the house designer. All of whom put their regular days aside to meet the crazy girl with an imaginary roof problem... 
I won't even get into my 7am visit to the roof truss manufacturers office. 

Let me tell you the embarassment I felt when I pulled up to the house to see a roof completely different than the one in the picture!!

So now we can move forward instead of starting over! 

All but 2 of our windows are boarded up in the garage waiting to go in, the missing ones will be here tomorrow. Shingles are on the roof waiting to go on and the back porch is a work in progress!


The peak of the covered porch is on now too... But my phone died last time I was out there.

I went out to label windows. We have a lot of windows that look the same, but open differently. I wanted to make sure that they went into the right spots. Hopefully I labelled them correctly!!



Look at that beautiful black window! :)


Ok! Off to get the kiddos from school... Just wanted to update now that everything with the roof is fine!!

  1. Whew - scared the hell out of us all reading your post - damn short people with cameras ! Glad everything worked out - what a tragedy if it didn't - love the black window - can hardly wait till installed. After building two homes almost gives me the itch to build again - loved every minute of it. Keep the pics and stories coming.
