Ready and waiting...



In these pictures you can see piles of shingles on the roof. The skylight curbs are finished and insulated; the window wells are completed now, and the roofers are a little behind because of some heavy rain earlier this week. Maybe they'll come tomorrow? Maybe next week? You may also be able to make out that the small roof overhang over the doors to the (not) deck has been rebuilt and slightly extended. 
As soon as the roof shingles and windows are in place, things will probably move quickly inside! (Windows will be nice. As it gets cooler, we are noticing the R-value of poly sheets in our room isn't quite as good as our window was!) The major event after that (in terms of disruption to family particularly) will be taking out the family room wall next to the addition. This will mean emptying the family room, which will mean moving the computer desk, which may mean I may not easily be able to post updates for a while after that. We'll see how the logistics work out.
The other picture shows another "while-we're-at-it". We haven't had a good piano light, and the lowered soffit over the piano nook seemed to lend itself to the idea of pot lights, so we had a pair installed there! They are (literally) brilliant.
