Exterior Updates - Patio Views

Well, I was getting a little down about the SLOW progress at the house. But, looking at the latest photos, I realize it is coming along...slowly but surely. We are waiting for the stucco to dry before the last layer goes on the 2nd story addition. The brick will be painted to match the existing color. Also our new roof is on!

It's hard to tell from my photos, but our slate roof had seen better days. I guess at 72 - it served the house well. We opted for "fake slate" due to cost. I was pleasantly surprised to see how good it looked once it was installed. Here are a few photos:

Roof is going on this week!

We are finally getting a new roof. For cost reasons, we went with fake slate. I think it looks great so far. From a distance...it doesn't look fake at all. This is a photo I took today on zoom.
