Last week we finally got gutters back on the house. I was pretty bummed we couldn't keep the half-round gutters that were on the house (and definitely couldn't afford new ones at $16.50/sqft!!!). After finding out the house originally had built-in gutters like the front porch, I was a little less sad about this. We did decide to "upgrade" to the 6" gutters though and I'm glad we did because A) it's a big roof and a lot of water comes pouring off it and B) they look pretty darn good!
We didn't get a ton of pictures because by the time Chris left for work they were already half way done. Kinda hilarious how they did it though- that's a looooong piece of gutter!

A little more recently...
Did I forget to mention??
Somehow it escaped me (or perhaps I just don't have as much free time as I'd like) to mention that the roof is done! Has been for about a month now :) Chris and I were in St. Louis for the last couple days of construction, and made it back just in time to cut them a check and watch a little clean-up. Chester and his crew did a great job and they were very entertaining to say the least!
Here's a little recap of what we missed while we were gone:
Had to do a little extra work here by the front dormer where it was evident there was some past water damage. Bugger! But good to have fixed!!!
