Roofing

The roof went on in just 1 week! Last week they delivered crates and crates of metal for the roofing. This is a standing seam metal roof (careful to leave flat valleys in the corners of the gables so that sliding snow doesn't take out the standing metal!), metal being a great nonflammable choice for a house in the woods. (James was lobbying for red but I though it would look like Pizza Hut. We went with dark green)
They started working on the dormers, then the porch roof (which is a mild 3/12 pitch), then the garage (which has no dormers at all), then finished the main house. The pitch on the roof is 12/12, to look like an old style farm house. We have a bid for gutters which will go in soon.
The last 2 photos show what it looks like now as you come up the driveway, and looking downhill from behind the garage.
