Putting together and taking apart

Todd and Eric spent the day trying to figure out the complicated roof angles.  A good friend of ours, Brad, who is a contractor, took time out of his busy schedule to give us some advice on how to set the valley.   Today was more about brain power than brawn- although plenty of muscle was used to get the micro-lam beam in place.  Todd and Bonnie carried it from the street yesterday and Eric and Todd hefted it into place today.

 We also needed to do alittle demolition in order to get the delivery of some new appliances.  Sears will be delivering our new refridgerator in the morning and the existing whole wasn't big enough.  Although the new appliances are alittle premature in the process- we needed to take advantage of a 30% off sale when it arose.  Also, Bonnie and Finn went to the Sears Outlet over the weekend and scored a pretty good deal on a new stove. So we'll need to make room for that soon too, as we can only drive around with it in the back of the truck for so long.
The hole in the wall where our old refridgerator was.  We needed to make more room for the new one being delivered tomorrow, although this won't be its final destination.
