The roof ... 1 on, the other soon

Sorry for the lack of posting, a bunch of stuff happened in the last couple of weeks and I haven't been very diligent about updating this. That is not to say that construction stopped ... nothing could be further from the truth. Progress has been great and we are very much along.

The roof is finished, at least all the framing. The first roof (we are installing 2) is on. This is a "rubber" roof that is about 1/8" thick. It is glued to the plywood and creates a waterproof barrier. This alone could act as a roof, but in our case will act as the first, with the shingles going on top.

Should we loose any shingles, the underlying roof will protect the structure ... great idea ... and in out opinion well worth it.

We have had a hard time matching shingles, but have finally decided on one that is very close and still widely available. This way, we will be able to match shingles for the other phases of construction.

You can also see the new fascia installed on the addition. This is a "plastic" product, that requires no maintenance, will not rot, fade, corrode, etc ... we will replace the fascia for the rest of the house to match.
