Roofing and Rough-In Plumbing

This past week we've been working on our roof and our rough-in plumbing. We've gotten about a third of our roofing done and are pretty much finished with our rough-in plumbing. We have a few tiny connections to make on the plumbing, but are very close to being done with it. We've been trying to work on the roof during the coolest parts of the day... mostly just first thing in the morning. We plan on having the roofing completely finished by the middle of the week.

We framed up the large spa shower in the master bathroom. We just told our framers to leave that bathroom open, because we wanted that shower a very specific way and wanted to frame it up ourselves. It turned out great though. We put a bench seat on one side and an opening in the wall for soaps or whatever. We'll tile the whole thing. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Next comes our electric rough-in. Today, we bought a bunch of pigtails, wired them together and strung them around the house to give us temporary light all around the house. We turned on the pigtails and took a picture from the outside. The window openings lit up and looked pretty neat from the outside.

We had a visitor today... a small black racer snake decided to climb our block wall. We took a couple pictures of him too.

Here are photos of the past week:
