The roof is up and shingles have started



Hello to all!
Sorry we have not posted in a while. Things have been pretty crazy around the Pocius house. Plus the weather has not cooperated with our building project. Although we have not gotten much snow, we have had enough rain and cold to cause problems.
Amanda and I had to decide the color of our shingle before Thanksgiving. We settled on a color called Weathered Wood by Certainteed. We got samples of our brick and James Hardie siding color to put next to a bunch of different shingle
types. We did not want to go too light (does not look good with the other colors) or too dark (creates a lot of radiant heat in the summer thus making the air conditioner work harder to cool).
I went out with the kids on our way home Friday and the roofers were out there still working even though it was after 4 and about 27 degrees out. My fingers start to hurt just thinking about it.
The weather is supposed to be dry (and cold) so the roof should get done early next week and the windows should be put on Wednesday (little Johnny's birthday).
We have a house next door that has started too. The Baum family is building next to us so the neighborhood will be quite different by the spring!
