Sunshine with a Chance of Sleet?

The weather here has been crazy lately. We had two days back to back in the 60s, then it poured, and I mean poured! This naturally was followed by a cold front that brought some snow, rain, sleet mix. Needless to say the timeline of having the roof on and windows in by Friday (2/1) didn't happen. Matt and I were a little frustrated at the set back, but understand that you can't roof a house with snow on it.

Yesterday the crazy weather continued. While at home on my lunch break, sleet was hitting the windows, then there was a snow, rain mix! By 2:30 the snow was completely melted off the parking lots, the sun was shining and the temperature gage in my car read 48 degrees! Can you believe it? When we met our builder at the house at 4:30, the roofers had half the shingles on! I was super surprised and very happy!

The inside framing is coming along and they are finishing out a few small things, adjusting some areas that worked on paper but not so much in real life - I'm losing the pocket door in my closet :( but gaining closet space :) !

I haven't been out to the house yet today, Matt says the windows and doors are in! I will update you on that tomorrow....I have a busy night of tidying and cleaning because we have a showing on our house tomorrow! That's right, after only 9 days on the market, we will have the house's first showing! I'm anxious and nervous...but not getting my hopes up....stay tuned!

Shingles going on the roof!
