Monday morning they were at it again working like beavers. Today they got half of the roof decked with plywood, and I also saw evidence of more work inside on the threaded rods which will tie the whole structure to the concrete slab. This picture is the underside of the porch showing the rafters and the decking above. Somehow the porch seemed much bigger with a roof over its head.
This is taken from the west looking east at the upper bedroom. The porch roof is on a gentler slope that the house roof.

Now I'm up ON the roof which was really fun. You can tell the different slopes from the porch to the main house. This is looking down on the house to the west.

The back of the house has what they call a "12 on 12" roof basically meaning that it's very steep. This picture may not make much sense if you haven't seen it in person, but I was trying to capture the fact that the roof on that section of the house slopes down very steeply and scoots right off the edge. It looks very dangerous and I won't be going out there.
Here's one more shot of the front porch looking east. The rolls of felt roofing paper are sitting there ready to go.
