Roof, windows, and more!

Part of the fun and excitement of a build project is watching it grow and transform from one stage to the next. We've been following closely and the site was graded and foundation footers formed and poured, the foundation walls formed and poured, then the first and second stories framed. The next big step would be the roof which would allow the interior work to proceed. #dreambig
