Holy Shingles!

The new gable:

So cute! So welcoming!

On the home front, The Daddy and The Crazy Dog oversaw further progress on our addition while the girls and I were away. Last week our roof was "dried in," the plumbers came, the electricians came and the plumbers came again for a little mishap on Thursday morning. Good thing The Daddy was there and got the water turned off!

This afternoon the shingles for the roof were delivered. I mistakenly told the guys they could just put it in the front yard. He said, "No. We're going up there!" while pointing to the roof.

They used a nifty conveyor belt to send each package up:

Last Wednesday morning, The Daddy, HJ and I made some cabinet, counter top and tile selections:

The cabinets are the same color as our hardwood floors, even though the floors in the bathroom are going to be the travertine tile pictured.

Here's a close up of the cabinet and counter top choices:

We chose silestone instead of granite because the color is so much more uniform, and it reacts better to water.

Here is a close up of the marble accent tiles for the shower:

Love our selections!

We'll use varying sizes for the floor, shower walls and shower floor.

So exciting! 5-6 weeks left now...

I'll tell you all about the girls' and my getaway tomorrow. I've got a million and one items on my to do list, and a little while left during nap time to get at least that ONE done!
