Roof work and finishing the walkout

BHM was in finishing some odds and ends, including the base of the walkout.

Meanwhile, with the completion of masonry, Virgilio was back to finish the front and rear roof.  We are officially water-tight, though the caulking will be later.

Concrete Prep, Roof Done

While Virgilio's crew finished the roof, the boys from BHM were in all day prepping the basement and garage slab for the pour tomorrow.  I always love the care and attention that Tom and his crew take to doing a proper job with the slab - proper wire mesh placement, a good amount of gravel for drainage, vapour barrier and flashing, as well as using the laser to set up a perfect level line throughout the basement.

Roof starts

The roofers started today (Miguel was nice enough to lift all of the materials onto the roof, which saved a bunch of time for Virgillio and his team!).  I don't expect them to finish, because, you guessed it - it's Euro Cup time and the Portuguese team is up against the wall.  Tomorrow, we'll have the rest of our roof in place!

Truss assembly begins

Miguel was in today, working through bad stomach flu, to assemble and brace the truss system.  If all goes well, we can get the shingles started on Monday or Tuesday.
