DRY and under roof (roofing felt)

We didn't get the tin on today because the crew had to finish putting the OSB down on the back side of the house and did a very through job of putting the "tar paper" (roofing felt) on both front and back which waterproofed the roof. Nevertheless, we are officially dry and under roof with the hope - if it doesn't rain tomorrow - of having the blue tin down by late tomorrow afternoon. Here is a picture of the front roof (we ran out of roofing felt so the white "ridge cap/skylight" at the top right is clear plastic to finish the job until the tin could be applied tomorrow).
Here's the back of the roof (our tankless propane hot water heater will be attached to the middle of the back exterior wall - just outside the master bathroom garden tub):Another shot of the front (I fired the block mason - ME - for being so slow but note how straight the roof line is... he did a good job of keeping the wall level):And looking out the front door (the picture is darker than usual because the roof is on now and there isn't as much light available late in the day):
