Surprising installation

Today, the roof was finished, except for shingles - it is all covered in decking and with the modern equivalent of felt paper. The sunroom will be nice, with its nine-foot walls plus an additional foot in a catherdral-style ceiling. It will be smaller than what we have now, but not by too much. The advantage will be that it is built-in from the start. The other major thing that happened today was a pleasant surprise.

The bathtubs and showers are in - or nearly so. Each of them is too damn big to move into the bathrooms later, so now, which the walls are not fully formed, is the time to do it. We know it was going to happen because there are many studs missing just in the bathroom walls, and we figured it was to give plenty of room to move these units in. And so it is. The first floor shower is in, as is the master shower. The master whirlpool is in the bathroom, but not yet out of the box. The main bath/shower unit is on site, but not yet installed.

We are very curious to see what the next step is. Today is our three-week point for the move-out, and we're five days away from the two month mark for move-in.
