We have a finished roof

Yesterday we took a ride out to the farm to see our new roof. We chose the lightest shingles possible. The hope is to approach the efficiency of a white roof in reflecting summer heat.

And here's how it looks:

I hope you can see the detail in the roof. The shingles are a pretty gray.

This is the regular view from the East.

This is the house from the Northeast showing the summer kitchen and garage.
I really love the look f the roof angles.

I decided we should have a few photos of the interior. It looks very spacious right now and will be nice to have a reference as the interior walls are added.

So when we step inside the front door this is what we see.
We are very happy with the ceiling vault created by the scissor trusses.

Looking the other direction (West) you see the space that will be our bedroom and bathroom.

 We are feeling very lucky. Every visit to the farm leaves us excited and energized. The house offsets any small set-backs. Yesterday, upon inspecting our trees, we discovered the little dogwood trees we planted last summer did not survive the winter. But the big oak trees, although late, are leafing out. So some of our efforts toward producing a forest on the north side of the house are paying off…we celebrate every step.
