They took off the roof this week.

This is the scariest part of the process for me because:

1) the whole house is exposed to the weather now

2) ) it looks like house could just cave in

The contractor told me he thought the house would only be open like this for about 2 weeks. It’s been 5 days and they haven’t started framing yet so I’m not sure I buy that. Luckily the 10 day forecast looks clear so I think we have time. September in Palo Alto isn’t usually rainy, but there’s is definitely a chance of rain which doesn’t exist from June-August.  

The wood for framing is supposed to come tomorrow, but we still have to get through a special inspection first.
