Despite being pummeled by high winds and tons of snow most of December, the building crews made good progress since we were last at Cattail. On our trip over Christmas, we were able to climb onto the 2nd floor and watch while the crews put up the dormers and one part of the roof support. The crew foreman, Kent (above right), tells us the roof could be on before the end of January! We'll have a forest green metal roof.
Susan, Edwin (left) and Randy discuss the size of the dormers - two windows go in each dormer.
Kent and Ferrell hold a dormer while Tony nails it in place. Each guest room upstairs has a dormer.
Looking down into the Great Room - the cathedral ceiling for the great room will be 28 feet high. Can you believe that!!
Looking down into the master bedroom. The trusses for the ceiling of the master bedroom are not in place yet. The ceiling itself will be a "tray ceiling" for added height and sense of "spaciousness." There will be storage in an attic above this bedroom, as well as a 2nd heating and cooling system for the upstairs.
Goodbye 2010 - this is how we left the site New Year's Eve; to think that a year ago we only had a plan downloaded from the Internet!

Hi, we got your blog address from one of Grace Tyner's emails. We're Duck and Greta and we're the fortunate new owners of the Nelson's Rock of Ages.
Just wanted to say that we've been watching the progress on your new place since October or so. Congratulations! Hope we'll meet you soon.
