Dried In
The roof deck is on and covered with tar paper, the layer that goes under the shingles. The tar paper sheds the rain, so that means that the inside will be dry, no matter the weather. Well, presumably a driving rain could still go in the window/door openings, since there are no windows and doors installed at the moment, but still we're "dried in".
The above photo shows the garage end of the house (those are garage-door openings, right?). The front door is that hard-to-see opening on the right of the above picture. Below shows the house to the right of the front door; this photo is in the direction of the mountain view, obscured here by the house.
Now looking the other way (the mountain view is behind, the shot is into the sun) the living portion of the house is more apparent. That big window on the left is the living room, the next opening is for a sliding glass door (onto the future deck) in the dining area. Then the window above the kitchen sink, and the far right window is the bedroom/den. The shingles should go on next week, weather permitting, and the the roof will then be complete.
