We have shingles - Week 10 - Day 47 - May 16, 2011

At the start of our 10th week of construction, we were excited to have shingles going on at 100 Yorktown.  It will be a relief to get the house dried in.  We really like the Owens Corning Estate Gray shingle color.  Today the roofers got most of the bonus room complete and a portion of the front porch.  The porch threw us a little bit of a scare as we thought the porch would have standing seam metal roof as is in the plans.  This was an item that the builder did not include to meet our budget.

After looking at the porch roof from the several different vantage points on the street and in the yard, we have determined it is very hard to even see the roof, so it probably doesn't make sense to put the money in upgrading the roof.
