Soooooooo poorly that no one can stand on it and it's unsafe. Why, you ask???? Well I asked the SAME question and here was the answer I got (from John). When houses were built a long time ago, they didn't have power tools, so it took a lot longer to build than it does now. So what builders did was build the entire shell of the house FIRST (the outside frame and the roof)...and then they built the inner walls (ceilings, floors, etc) this way when they had bad weather, etc...they were protected while they continued building. Makes sense...right? So they didn't care how sturdy the ceilings were since no one had to stand on them!
The last 2 days have consisted of the guys tiptoeing around on the roof...and every once in awhile putting a foot thru the ceiling....as soon as I hear the yell (or the profanity) and the trickle of debris I leap to my feet and start vacuuming....it works out nicely for everyone! :)
What didn't work out nicely was that naps for Ava (and Mommy) were put on hold until they were done working. John was nervous that while they were working upstairs the ceiling would give out above the bedrooms and then we'd have an even bigger problem. The ceiling and roof was finished today and we are ALL well rested and happy no one got hurt!
We are now ready to get the roofers here to put the shingles up and then the basement floor can be poured!!!! MOVING ALONG!!!!!!!
