Day 6 (continued...) James did have to drain his waterbed this morning though. His room is looking awfully big without it. That reminds me, isn't that really my waterbed? |

The saws are lined up on the ridge line, ready to get to work. | ) |
The roof is cut into big squares. I guess it's not so hip to be a square after all. |

There goes the first piece... | ) |
It better not rain now, all the 'puters are under there! |

Naked roof! | ) |
Eating away at the bones |

James bathroom fixtures. Yeap, that's a seat in his shower... | ) |
Here is my bath, minus the shower. Nothing as special as James's seat... |

Home Depot stopped by and dropped off these beauties. | ) |
You wouldn't catch me dead on the scaffolding. I guess that's why I'm not in construction. |
