More changes

Last weekend the kids had a BLAST with their homemade rope swing. They attached a rope to the tall ladder and then came out the little access from the new room to jump down and swing. They were out there most of the weekend. It was really fun for them. Here is a picture from Wednesday. It has come a long way since then. I am amazed at how fast this moves!! I am sure we are approaching the "slower" stuff soon and that will be hard!! Here is the new roof attached to the existing roof...

Here is an "aerial view". (sorry about the butt shot Dad! - I didn't do it!!)

The roof is now prepared for shingles and the windows are cut out. Next week the existing windows will be moved to the new room. Here comes the real fun (and mess!).

The heating and air crew will be coming out to hook up the new room. Everything will be sealed up. The plumber will come out and start that new work also. The shingles will be put on the roof. Wow!!

The heating and air guy has already been a lifesaver! We told him we haven't been pleased with our system and he took a look at everything. He found our problem...a big gaping hole in the return in the attic!! The super hot heat (and cold in the winter) from the attic was coming in our system!! Could that explain our $300 electric bill?? Probably! Uuuuggghhhh! I can't wait to see the difference in the electric bill now! So worth that money!!
