New roof line emerges

The rooms are really beginning to take shape now!
The family room
The loft
Loft with rafters in place
The roof nailing inspection is scheduled for this coming Monday.  The inspector needs to make sure the roof is nailed properly (nail size and spacing), and that it satisfies the 1-hour fire rating requirement, before we are able to cover it with roofing material.  Our contractor is *hustling* to meet this appointment (and he wants the roof on to protect from rain just as much as we do at this point).

It's currently raining (lightly), and is supposed to rain all day tomorrow as well, which probably means it will be too slippery for the guys to work on the roof plywood.  They'll be here all day Saturday trying to complete the overhang, fascia and plywood in time for Monday.  Tonight everything's covered up tight with tarps.

Luckily, on our side of the temporary wall, we are still cozy and dry in our little apartment!
