The roofer has torn up all of the old roof (see picture below) and has put up new roofing paper (no picture, sorry!). We're going to be putting a cool corrugated galvanized steel roof on the slanted part, but that has to wait until the plastering is done....
... and we can't do the plastering until all the windows are installed! We finally got the window frames for the stairwell (they were air-freighted... the glass is coming by ship), so Sam installed those.
The two-stack...
And the four-stack!
In a way it's nice that the glass is being shipped separately, because it made the frames a lot lighter and easier to install! But we do have a bit of a fly problem...
We also had a bit of a window surplus. Between the windows that we'd removed and the (wrong) windows that we'd been shipped, we had a lot of windows! Luckily, we also have a spacious garage in which to store them. Then Sam managed to sell most of them on Craigslist, and he's used a few in the remodel he's doing at our friend Michelle's house.
As long as he was on a window roll, though, Sam decided to remove the (kinda old and ugly) window from the living room and replace it with one of our (surplus, new, pretty) awning windows...
We both feel like this fits in a lot better with the rest of the room.
But then there was just one old window left, in the office. Hmmmm, we can't let that happen, can we?
Nope!
In other news: plumbing. Sam plumbed all of the master bathroom. This is the bathtub...
...these are some crazy pipes up in the ceiling...
... and this is for one of the two sinks. We're also going to have double shower-heads in the master shower, but somehow I don't have any pictures of that... yet!
Also, on September 7th, Sam and I celebrated our fourth anniversary! We went to see Chicago, which neither of us loved, but that's ok because we love each other! :)
