Insulation

We went into San Angelo yesterday to do our weekly shopping. On our way back we stopped at the house to see how far the roof-work had progressed. To our surprise we found the insulation work had started. They had gone through the entire house ceiling every opening they could find. The roof was half done as of yesterday and almost completed today.

All Work Continues

With our delay due to the rain it was a welcome sight to see all the different crews back to work today. The plumbers were connecting the gas line to the fireplace in the study, the electrician was back running more cable, and the roofers picked up where they left before the rain.

The insulation work has been rescheduled for Monday. The builder wants to make sure the interior is completely dry before the insulation is installed.

Mueller Metal Roofing

The roofers completed the back of the house and started on the front Monday. The front will take much more time due to all the cuts around the dormers. I was asked what type of metal roof we had. Ours is a metal corrugated panel roof manufactured by Mueller, Inc. out of Ballinger, Texas.

We had some rain late Monday afternoon and rain all day today. Paul keeps saying "when the roof goes on it will stop raining." This has been an unusually wet year.

Nice Green Roof - Pretty Red Kayak

We have had many nice compliments on the green roof from friends and family. I took this picture Friday evening after the roofers had finished for the day.
This weekend Rita (Grammy) and Elizabeth tried out their new kayaks. They both took off in the river like they had been kayaking all their lives. They joined Paul's brother Dan and wife Debbie for a trip up the river. They decided to launch from a very pretty place known as Mineral Wells Crossing on the South Concho which is up river from where we are staying.

Johnny, Johnny & Johnny

This is Johnny the electrician. He has been very patient with me and my many outlet changes. We have had Johnny the plumber and Johnny the painter also. Our builder knows lots of Johnny's. The electrician has been the only one working at the house this week up until today.

After lunch today we drove by the house and found the roofers had started laying the green metal roofing this morning. It was exciting to see the building process moving forward. I realize I say this often, but with the slow progress this week I was excited.

I asked the roofers if they plan to work tomorrow. I didn't get a big, yes, as I had hoped. They will complete the back today and the front next week. The front will take much more time due to the many cuts around the dormers.
