preparing for foul weather

This is the house yesterday evening... They finished covering the roof with plywood and cut the window and skylight holes out.

All these pictures of the front of the house and none of the back. Well, the rear is neglected no more. There are two beautiful apple trees inside the fence, lots of big trees and a year-round creek beyond the fence.

Andy climbed up the wall studs to get into the attic and get a feel for how big our storage/hobby space is going to be up there. As you can see, Andy's nearly 6' tall and having no problem standing up straight. (I'm so excited to have a crafting attic! Though it won't look anything like Martha Stewart's...)

Ann watched Ava while I took some photos. Ava didn't like the cold concrete floor too much, but we told her it would be warm once we move in and she found a piece of wood to put in her mouth, so she decided it would do for now.

Here's the house as of this evening. We're expecting close to a week of rain, so the guys got this roof liner stuff. Hopefully the roof won't be soggy when the roofers come out to put on the shingles and metal roofing.
