We went to see the house on Saturday evening because the roofers were there in the morning, before the big rainstorm, and started to put on the shingles.  They are sort of visible on the shed roof that is the roof of the screened porch and on the roof of the dormer.







Here is a better view of the shingles from the other side on the roof of what will be our bedroom and includes Toni admiring the work


After admiring the progress, Toni looked into the house just to see what was up, and we discovered the rain had left it's mark - there were puddles in the living room, wet marks on many floor areas and serious water above the ceiling in the garage.

We called Juan, our builder and he came right over.  He fixed a couple of places in the tar paper on the roof where water apparently got in and punctured the garage ceiling to release the trapped water (after we moved the stuff stored below it).  Today (Sunday) he and the roofers were at the house and removed all the wet drywall.  Tomorrow they will remove the rest of the wet insulation and use dehumidifiers to dry out the house (the weather is cooperating as today is hot and dry as is the forecast for tomorrow.  So, we've had our first setback, but everything now seems to be under control (or at least as much as it can be).
