Our Black Onyx roof is going on today. Doug says they'll be finished by Monday. It will make the house fairly watertight, although they won't do any drywalling etc until the siding goes on so that the moisture doesn't impact it. They've also been busy this week starting to install the electric. We spent two hours with Steve the
electrician going over where all the switches, fixtures and outlets will go. Talk about mind-numbing! He's a good guy, though, and I'm glad he's the one who has to do this all the time and not me! The fireplace and the lower level heating/cooling vents also went in this week. Given that it is still cold here, I think that fireplace is going to get a lot of use! The big question is what to put around it -- granite to match the kitchen? tile? stone? -- as always the choices are endless. Any and all suggestions are welcome!
And last but not least - to the left is my custom built shower bench! Seriously, Chuck measured the height of my knee bend and built it to the perfect height just for little ol' me. Brian doesn't appreciate my glee over the shower bench but I am so looking forward to having it!

Holy cow! Things have progressed quite nicely since I was there a few weeks ago. The roof line from the front looks really great -- can't wait to see it with all those black shingles. Congrats on the shower bench, Al! It is the little things in life that really make a difference.
