Roof's on!

Well, we FINALLY got the flashing on the knee walls and the ridge cap across the peak of the roof. For the most part the roof is finished. There is still some work that needs to be done on the knee walls but the main part of the house is dried in!
This is a shot from near the road looking south down our drive way:
This is a closer shot of the roof, knee wall flashing and ridge cap:After we finished the roof, Kim's knees were hurting so he called it a day. When he left, I fabricated and installed "dams" that got nailed between the trusses to hold the cellulose insulation in place. It's kinda hard to see the "dams" in this picture because I used OSB and they "blend" in against the OSB roof sheathing.Tomorrow I'll start the plumbing... hot's on the left... cold's on the right...
And quoting Kim Campbell's "good old boy" wisdom, "measure twice... cut once." BRILLIANT!
