Week 20:
Spring has sprung and things are blooming around here!!
Day 143
March 3, 2011
The snow delays have given way to rain delays and March is roaring like a lion. So far the house has gone unscathed in our early spring storms although I hope I never see an inch of standing water in the bathroom and bedroom or basement for that matter ever again! However the roofers arrived this week and hopefully that will cut down on the amount of rain dripping into the house.

| Landmark Heather Blend Demensional Shingles: the roofer said they are is favorite shingle color...pretty good coming from a guy that looks at shingles all day. |

| Sometimes I wish we could spin the house around so more people could enjoy the back of the house. Gorgeous, huh? |
While there are many details yet to be completed the main bones of the house are almost complete. The roofers are hard at work and hopefully in 1-2 weeks will have our home shingled. The electrician is lined up and hopes to start in the next week or so. It's coming along!
