We Have a Roof!

Okay, you thought there was a roof before.  Well, it was there, but not shingled.  Now we have a roof shingled, watertight, and pretty.

 Because the angle of the roof is so shallow, and because when we were out there on Saturday morning it was pretty cloudy, I won't put up a full house photo.

We did get a little (2 cm) rain on Saturday.  I put a rain gauge on one of the lot lines so we can see what precipitation happens.  Just to illustrate, we only had about .2 inch, downtown.  There's a lot of difference in the micro-climates around the bay and islands.

BTW, on Saturday we met our favorite Port A Realtor for breakfast at Frankie's Kitchen in Port A.  It was a new experience for us all, and I can tell you this is a place worth visiting.  (Note it's only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for breakfast and lunch, and they don't take plastic.)  The food was great as was the company!

Back to the house.   The exterior is getting prepped for painting.  The siding joins and nail holes are getting calked.  Nick had originally told us he didn't roof until the exterior is painted, but he's changed that to keep things moving.   And the painters promised to not drip paint on the roof.
