Work on the roof continues to move along. I wish it could be at a little faster pace but with almost daily thunderstorms last week progress has been slow.
As of yesterday, Monday, the East side was completed and work on the West side of the house has begun. I have been told that the West side should not take all that long due to the fact that there are no dormers for the most part to contend with.
Although progress has gone rather slowly, the work that the roofers have been doing has been excellent. I could not be happier with the job they are doing.
This is a picture of the flashing job around both the South dormer and the where the great room intersects the main house roof.

We have been dealing with the larger windows lately in the great room.

We seem to be averaging about two a weekend right now but, at the same time we have been taking time out here and there to make decisions on some of the other things that need to be ordered, such as entry doors and siding.
Currently we are leaning towards ordering the siding out of Washington from a company called Lakeside Lumber. They offer pre-stained siding which we will probably go with just as a time saver and the fact that all six sides of the board come stained.
We have 
also started work on some of the interior walls. We have several of the walls layed out on the floor and as we get time on the weekends or during the work week we are trying to get some of them up.

The 200 amp main has been hung, the outside meter and disconnect needs to be hung on the outside of the house yet and 3" conduit connected for service wire to be pulled in.
Also this past weekend we purchased a 500 gallon water tank. 
This will eventually be loaded on a tandem axle trailer for hauling water. For now it is parked on a pad poured earlier for a pump house which will handle the gray water filtering and pumping, for now it will supply water for the garden.

Here are some last minute photos taken Tuesday evening. Today, Wednesday should see all of the panels on the roof by the end of the day.
