Shingles and Windows

As planned the shingles and windows showed up early this week and are in the process of being installed.
First a cool shot from Sunday of the shop framing (did I mention 15' ceiling in the center? ;-))


Some shots of the shingles and windows (and side doors to the mechanical closet):




We got our fireplace already! Here are some shots of the fireplace and routing of the pipe through the roof:




Windows waiting in the garage for installation:


The shop in it's current state with eaves and trim, ready to be covered with roofing board.



Closeup of shingles - the color is "antique slate" which is fancy for grey with a greenish tint.


Here's a low-angle shot of the front of the study/office. You can see how the window sticks out from the wall and the trim around the roof is all set off from the wallboard in preparation for adding brick to the wall so it will all be flush when the brick is done.

I will take a shot after the brick is added and it will hopefully all line up!

It's supposed to snow or at least freezing rain tomorrow so I don't know how much will be done. Also the high temps for the next few days are in the 30s! More pics to follow when there's progress...
