A roof over our heads

Is it a metal roof, or one made of low, clingy clouds? Certainly it's a roof that will fit in with whatever Mother Nature decides on weather-wise.

Seeing the roof sitting so proudly atop our new nest is a lovely sight to see from our distant New Zealand vantage point. Denin Homes takes photos pretty much every week, and posts them to our log-in site. They generally are viewable at our end on Saturday mornings - for the past 16 weeks, that's been another reason to look forward to weekends!

But the batch that arrived this Saturday am only included a glimpse of the roof. We mentioned that during our Skype meeting with Caleb and Hillary that morning. I suspect it was Caleb himself who darted over to the site and snapped off a few more pics, including the handsome one above.

The rest of the windows and doors will be put into place this week, along with the siding. That will then mark the official 'it's now weather tight' milestone for the project. The Denim team can then head indoors for the winter.

We'll be peeking in the windows every so often to see how the interior work is going,

Meanwhile, behind the scenes the team involved in this project includes Shelley at Burchell MacDougall Lawyers in Wolfville and Tammy at the Wolfville branch of Royal Bank of Canada - both play a key role in helping us pay the bills.

Sue is also working closely with Stephanie, who leads interior design work at Denim and is the owner of Mariposa Interiors in Wolfville. I'll leave it for Sue to talk about the invaluable assistance Stephanie is providing us. We'll see a lot more of her impact as the project heads indoors.
