The front roof was framed and it really starts to show the shape of the front of the house. Very exciting.
Shopping for a garage door is an absolute pain in the ass. Our door will be 9' wide and 8' tall (see Day 23 for more on that...) and for some reason all of the garage door manufacturers have decided that the same size windows at the top of the door will work for any size door, so the windows look great and proportionate for an 8' door, but look like the clothes on a kid in the middle of a growth spurt for the 9' door - just a little too small.
Mike send us the "have this thing by this time" list today. Cheryl and I will be discussing and debating the merits of gas vs. electric, 30" range vs. 36", 5' window vs. 6' window, over-the-range microwave vs. drawer microwave vs. over the counter microwave, and fiberglass faux-wood front door ($750) vs. wood front door ($1300) vs. Marvin® Wood front door ($3700). It looks like getting gas into the house is a $1300 expense, so electric is looking better all the time. If we could find a 5-burner electric range with 5 real burners in a 30" size that'd be perfect, but they don't seem to make that, only with a "warming zone", which means you can melt butter on it. We'll figure it all out sooner or later...
