Fireplace, Shingles and Soffits....oh My!

Today was a busy day 

at the ranch.

the guts of the fireplace

arrived in this

flashy truck.

Here it is in it's new home.

A big truck load of shingles 

also arrived 

and 

now there are piles of shingles

all over the roof

just waiting for

Emanuel and his trusty assistant

to put them in place.

Here is the groovy truck and 

the groovy thingy 

that gets the shingles from the truck

to the roof

with ease.

Ease is what's it's all about these days.

Easy does it.

Notice anything different here?

The men have installed the facia board

around 2/3 of the house and

have gotten the support boards in

so they can put up the soffits

tommorrow.

Hope that happens because

Brian is coming out to paint them.

They need to be in place before he can paint them.

Tommorrow

they may, just may get 

the rest of the supports up for the back porch

and start laying the floor .

Not the real floor,

but the base floor,

the floor that holds up the 

composite flooring we will be using.

 Maybe even the stairway into the basement.

I am giddy with excitement!

Don't the facia boards look nice?

All is well.
