the front moves forward!

as of last week, our house was looking a lot like this:

minus the scaffolding, that would've been such a luxury!!!

notice the window up top: 

no trim. tyvek and paper flying everywhere. flashing. unfinished cedar shake...

at the beginning of the week, our house looked like this:

oh la la!!!

 window trim, cedar shake starting to get in place, tyvek and flashing disappearing!

lookin good!

as of last night, our house looks like this:

all done! 

my dear sweet hubby who is terribly afraid of heights, stood on the ladder for three days and did this pretty much all by himself. up and down. up and down. 

climb up, attach paper (no easy task with only two hands), cut paper to size, climb down, find shingle, measure width, climb back up measure cut of shingle, climb back down, cut shingle, climb back up, attach shingle, climb back down find new shingle,  .......etc. so slow!

99% all by him self.

 the other 1% was yesterday, while nick's parents helped for a bit and i helped for a bit. but essentially, all we did was find the right size shingle to go up next, and tell him the width, so he could measure the cut, climb down the ladder, cut the shingle. climb back up and attach it. 

are you still reading???

 i don't know why, because i just confused myself typing all that!

HA!

ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 

thanks hubby!
