I know Where I'll Be for 4th of July

On my new roof, with amazing views of the Capitol Building (to the left of the tree in the middle) and the Washington Monument (to the right of the same tree). It makes going to the Mall so passe!

And turn around, and you have the National Cathedral!


As sad as I am to see the slate go, these shingles are nice looking and will last. We had a downpour last night and for the first time in ages: no water in the house!




Here is the dormer all wrapped with two openings for windows. There will be four (and much bigger) when it is all said and done, but we have a hint of what is to come. The windows will be here on Monday or Tuesday. Everyone is saying that this will be done by Tuesday!

And pretty new gutters on the dormer!
