Shingles Started

...and electrical rough-in finished! Here's a picture of the electric, phone, cable and ground wires coming into/out of the mechanical room. The fuse box is on the inside of the wall, just waiting for the inspector to come sign off on it.
And here are the first few shingles going up on the front porch wall.
My mom came through town today (she bought me lunch - thanks mom!) and stopped by the house site on her way to grandma Joy's house. She called to tell me that Steve was working on putting up more of the shingles today, and she really liked the way they looked. I'm really looking forward to getting out there today and seeing for myself what he acomplished.
