Today was a bit chillier than yesterday (but still very nice) and progress occurred on the roof and the start of the siding. Here are two pictures of the stonework and then one of the cinder block at the barn's back (facing the road). The big trench there will need to be back-filled up to the door and just above the cinder block (which will be the base for the stone facing the road).
In the morning, De De and Pop Pop went to Rolling Rock Building Stone - a quarry about an hour north of here. There we picked out the stone for the pool patio and the coping - a blend of Terra and Sapphire quartzite. We think this will blend well with the PA field stone on the barn walls.
Pictures of the finished roof and the start of the siding (the board of a "board and batten" siding) round out today's activity. The builders pre-paint the siding by dripping it in a vat of paint so that any separation after installation will not reveal unpainted wood. A final coat of paint will go on after the install is complete.
We're moving!
