Day 1 of "destruction"

Elizabeth has been fondly calling this whole process "destruction". I keep trying to tell her it's "construction" but after today it's totally "destruction". The roof is mostly off. There are a few feet left on the front. Tomorrow they already come in and remove the corner where the stairs are to go. It's freezing in here now. I have a new appreciation for a roof and insulation. We could feel the cold just seeping through the ceiling today as they started removing the insulation! And of course we have a lovely wind sweeping through here now. The sound of the tarp blowing around is going to keep me up all night :( At least they nailed it down all around so hopefully it won't blow off!! Keeping my fingers crossed it does not rain tomorrow otherwise we won't see them until Tuesday because of Memorial day weekend.
The first panel removed from the roof.

Oh my gosh! Day one has a lot of destruction. This is going to be so exciting to watch come together. It was so great to see you last week.
