We're back!After a week away, we came home to find good progress on the roof. The sloping and skylights posed a challenge to our builder last week, but after some calculations and discussions with our designer, the crew was able to pull it off. The roof is now just about complete; the team will install the sheathing and peel-and-stick membrane on the front gable, and then the steel roof by the middle of next week. We're a few days behind our target, but with the mathematical masterminding and problem-solving skills required for the "flat" roof, we are thrilled to have missed our goal by only a few days.
In very exciting news, our windows and doors are going in tomorrow! Windows and doors!
I am speechless with extreme glee.
More tomorrow!

Cool! I went by a couple of days ago and saw the detail (little cut-outs) on the roof. Is that a style thing or a green drainage/space for trees/built-in bird nests for local wildlife? Yea doors and windows! Glad you are back and things are progressing. Keep up posted.
PS is that a deck on the side?
Built-in birds nests?! Hahaha! No. John thinks the gaps are just there because it's easier to do it that way. It will be covered over.
What you're seeing on the side are the landings for the stairs that will lead to the rooftop patio, not tiny little side decks. I'll include some pictures of the back of the house soon so you can see the beginnings of the deck off of our bedroom, too.
