This is the view of the house from the front after that wall went up - you can barely see new wall. Once the roof trusses go up it'll be more obvious but not obnoxiously so. My house will ...

Second section of the west wall goes up. For some reason they didn't want to build the entire 20' long wall in one piece and then lift it.

The windows installed. They look great - I think the drooping tar paper makes for a nice look also. See that dish TV hanging on the side of my house? Want it? I have no use for the thi ...
