We Get our Lid!

Today the roof trusses are going on! Alken Basin is on site with a 75 foot crane to lift them up. Our lid is going on! Rain is on the way so this looks like the last good day for weather this week to make the job as safe as possible for Leon and Todd. After this - things will get slippery! We need to keep praying for their safety as the work reaches higher and higher heights! (These are words from the mouth of someone quite nervous of heights herself!)



UP THEY GO!



LEON AND TODD WORKING UP THERE!



PEAK TRUSS FOR OUR COTTAGE ROOF

What an exciting moment to see those going on! Today they should lift the timberframes into place too!

On a lesser note - but one just as crucial - we started our morning in Red Deer picking out the last of the exterior colors. We have a nice copper color for the base flashing around the foundation. It will match the brick incredibly well and disappear. We also now have sitting in the office a large sample of our shingle choice. We should be done co-ordinating all those exterior elements. Whew! Glad that is over! Next colors to choose will be in the office space. Other than flooring, I'm looking forward to that!
