Since the last post we lost some more time due to weather and work has been progressing on the roof. Visibly, the progress is much slower now than earlier. The roof is nearly completely shingled and the facia boards are almost completely installed.
We had to re-work the facia a little bit. The house design called for the facia to be angled towards the center of the house a bit, however upon reflection, that does not allow gutters to be installed. We have always known that we want gutters. Therefore, we have had to trim the ends of all of the roof trusses so that they are vertical to the ground - thus allowing a straight facia.
