Contain the rain

Well, there's no shingles yet (aww), but the upper floors and roof are enclosed in plywood, so that ought to keep most of the rain out. Shingling to occur next week - some exterior woodwork remaining to be done today.

We were able to do a looksee-walkthrough of the second floor on Tuesday, and decided to increase the closet area somewhat - and also giving us full-size closet doors - by building out the room corners a few feet, providing kind of an alcove for the bed. Also going with a half-wall at the top of the stairs, to increase the apparent room size. Flow of the room is nicely improved with these changes - places the bed/closets on the "old" house side - so a large nook will be at the top of the stairs, and walking along the wall there will be largely unimpeded.
