These rafters don't need paddles

We have rafters! And I don't mean those annoying people in river rubbers, either. Santa will have a place to land that sleigh next year ladies and gents. We did have a couple of issues to solve with the roof early this morning, though. In a couple of places on the houseplan, the architect simply did not think about the pitch of the roof, and we had some head room issues that evidently threw Keith into a bit of a tizzy. So, before Noel went to work and before I started a day of paying construction bills, we met with Keith and Indy at the house site. From what we can figure, Noel and I are pretty easy going with this house thing. Our favorite saying, "Well, what would you do?" And, we just do that. We also wanted to get our framers and Indy a little something for the holiday and all. Cookies? Nah. Candies? Nah. Whiskey? It is Lynchburg. So, they each got a mini bottle of Gentleman Jack. Can honestly say we had some happy framers. Anyway, they have done a wonderful job, and should be almost finished next week. 


Her front

The great room

Her side

On the bottom is the future screened-in porch with french doors and on top is one of the two upstairs bedrooms.

And this is her bootay -- the room on the right side of the pic is our master bedroom.


It seems that the guys got to meet the Carm-dog (my mom's one-eyed muttly) yesterday, too. She came to do her own little inspection and must have been quite a hit. I mean, who can really resist a one-eyed mutt?!
