As per usual, our friend the boom crane was on the scene this morning, putting the roof supplies right onto the...roof. The whole process took about 10 minutes, including unloading the pallet of shingles.

Our builder John keeps telling me that he forgets how much stuff they can do in a day with "a house this small". I'm never sure how to take that, but it's nice to know that things can get done fast if there is a break in the weather. Today was sunny and cold, but dry. They made quick work of the paper and shingles. By the time I stopped back through at 8:45 am, half of one side was done. The attached scaffolding left by the framers certainly helped speed up the prep work.

By the time we got home in the evening, we had a full roof over our heads, as well as a skylight installed (not a surprise that it was there, but we didn't know it was coming today as well).
