That wall is 12 feet high, from the floor - not including the crawl space below.
Another view of the framing June 10.
Kathleen says this picture is not to be included, but she looked so good I couldn't help it.
Roof trusses are installed.
Nice dappled light in the evening.
The patio will be on the right.
The bedroom will have a french door style slider that matches the french doors from the media room.
Some of the windows that will be installed starting tomorrow (June 23)
Again, I can see that patio already.
We'lll have a lot of window space.
What our living room looks like right now. They have cut the entrance into the bedroom and have a big plastic gizmo to keep the dust out of the house.
The hallway we will walk through to go out to the bedroom. It feels just as I imagined.
Master bedroom and bathroom framed up, plumbing and electrical roughed in.
Our beautiful windows are in!
Siding is going on. Looks like a construction site, doesn't it?
The North wall.
Our sliding door is installed.
The exterior was painted today. We like it!
The new paint from the North.
And inside, Kathleen's brother Mike is busy painting.
The dumpster is leaving! The dumpster is leaving! I can put my motorcycle in the garage!
And now the sani-can is leaving! Woot!
Finally, a clear driveway.
Looks good without the stuff in the driveway.
The door to the new bedroom suite.
The picture does not do justice - it's a big open feeling room.
A partial shot of the new bathroom.
We have a great view!
And here is what it looks like now that we are moved in and living in it.
A view from the other direction. The deck is being built!
Through the window in the center of the picture (just to the left of the lampshade) is a trestle. Yes, it's a railroad trestle - the Maple Leaf Railroad. It's no longer operable, but quite the creation of our great neighbor, John Zimmerman.

The deck came out even nicer than we could have hoped. it's going to be great!
The bathroom is all set up and we are loving it.
The glass block wall you can see in the upper right of this picture is a wall of the walk-in shower.
The walk-in shower is a joy.
The difficult front steps lacked a handrail, 75 years after the house was built. I had to wait until the contractor was done moving the Bobcat in an out before fixing this problem - by then, 3 of our friends had taken falls.
Problem solved!
