Our wood pile...that's gonna be one big bonfire!
Our new roof & construction zone
I'm a hot sooty mess!
Kade's dirty arm 
Kade on the roof 
Rafters at dusk--no roof
Sunset through the beams
No more fireplace, kitchen looking into living room
Soot leggings--nice!
A frame house with no roof
Frame under the arbors Exciting changes over the past week or so! We no longer have chimneys-Kade and Galloway took those down last week. There are no more living room walls/ceilings and most of the kitchen is gutted too! And...we have a new roof!!! The roofers came out on Friday and Saturday tearing off the old roof and putting up the new one. Kade and Galloway redid the roof's center portion--and they all worked in 100 degree heat. I made my own path carrying wood lat by stepping over the saw, under the extension cord, through the kitchen, down the shingle covered ramp, trying not to hit the ladder, around the plywood, around the roofer van and finally to the wood pile. Kade and I worked a little on Sunday trying to clear out the kitchen debris and the remaining plaster. We tried but surrendered to the heat about 2 p.m. The second dumpster is full of roofing stuff so we'll order another one to be delivered later this week.
FYI: We have a guy Kade has nicknamed "Scrappy" who likes to come get our scrap metal to sell (we think for beer $). Random, I know. Our cucumbers, tomatoes, sunflowers, and cantaloupe are doing great!!! I can't say the same for the lil' baby blue jay (R.I.P little fellow).
