| The tub frame and shower are ready to be lathed prior to tiling. | The latest front view showing the copper on the roof. | The garage was first to be drywalled. See the cement block from the 1957 house. My contractor said they went really cheap there and should have built it all to the same height. This would have prevented the dryrot when they backfilled the wall with dirt. |

They had just started to put it up when I noticed that the bottom of the window trim was 1-1/2" short. See the patch on the right side of the sill compared to the untouched left side. |

| There's a variety of shingle colors here. The cedar shingles are stained with a clear finish and can't be restained until the current stain breaks down enough in June 2006. We'll see... | Mixing up cement to cover the lower part of the walls in preparation of the stone. | Southern Rustic Ledgestone will start to go on this Wednesday, July 13th. Copper flashing has been placed on the balcony. The gas key to the fireplace is on the lower right wall. |

| The siding started on the front, moved to the side, and is now coming around to the back. This ensures that a shingle on one side of the house is at the identical height as one on the other side. | The hot tub will slide straight into this slot. | The white space at the top of the shingles will be horizontal siding. The copper vents are starting to patina. The lower wall is ready for the stone. |

| The front patio is looking great! There is so much to look at. See the mockup of stone to the left of the doorway? | Another section of shingles has been completed. I don't think it's too busy but rather very detailed. | All siding is up and it looks great! |
