Last week our propane tank arrived. Cal built this little 'hiding' spot for it so it is not visible at all from the house!





Ooops, I made one pic larger than the others! Oh well, you have a good idea of what the south/west side looks like. We are so very pleased with how the roof looks...and the best part is that is a 50+ year roof - we will never have to put on another roof!!!!! The top right pic shows the 3 solar tubes that are in place. Craigs Roofing crew did the roof and we were so impressed with the 3 young men that came. They had their noses to the grind - all out - the whole time they were here. Every day they would spend some time piling the mess which made it much easier for us to clean up. Its great to have people like that working for you.

The tiles are all on the roof and some have been laid. It will be a couple of days to go and they should be done. As usual, we can hardly wait. Cal continues to put the plumbing pipes together.



Well, this dear man has removed his construction/framing hat and has put on his plumbing hat. He has done the major 4" piping under the crawl space and is now working in the kitchen. He has a long way to go!!! but he continues to do his best. What an awesome guy.



This is probably self-explanatory to some but not to all. This is the water pressure tank that sits in the basement. It will do the job of keeping the water pressure up to snuff in the house.



The roofers started by putting on a black 'felt'. It resembles a very heavy gauge tarp with tiny mesh throughout. Impossible to rip it. Then they put on 1 x 4" strapping. It took them 2 days to complete this part of the job. They arrive today to begin putting on the concrete tile.
