6/14.  The main floor is started The roof is framed up.  Looking like a house, now. 6/27.  The felt is on the roof. 7/3.  The house is wrapped, and the interior walls are being finished up. 7/4.  Looks almost done from the air. 7/10.  The windows and doors are in.   The great room is vaulted, with 2 skylights   Taking a break in the Jacuzzi, and the see-through fireplace that will go between it and the master bedroom.   The octagonal window in the entryway, and the window seat in the office.   Door to the main deck and the dining room.  It's all open to the great room. View of the great room fireplace. 7/17.  Renee came along with us and helped us shingle.  Yes, it was pretty dark when we finished for the night! 7/30.  Most of the roofing is done.  This has been a long project that's taken almost a month so far.  8/6  STILL shingling.  Sheesh!  You'd never think there were THAT many shingles on a house...  On a brighter note, J.D.'s redneck farmer's tan has evened out since then. Erica gets the job of peeling the plastic strips off the back of the shingles. J.D. & Debbie laying and nailing.  Yes, she's lost so much weight, it's hard to keep her pants up!  :>) Sam getting ready to peel plastic strips. 8/18/01.  Finally getting the hips and ridges on.  We ran 10 bundles short on the shingles, so it'll be another 3 weeks to finish it up. Someone let a Smurf in, and all these blue boxes showed up! 8/31.  The basement wiring is almost completed. The master bathroom has a Jacuzzi, and we built this glass-block window for it. The roof is done, and the exterior just needs siding and brick.
