In this same interlude it doth befall / That I, one Snout by name, present a wall.*

Happy 2015! We've spent so much time watching things get pulled apart that it's actually a little startling to remember that the goal here is to build something new!


And so, with great delight, we present a wall. Six, actually, that pretty clearly show the new shape of this structure. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and we'll walk around the house, shall we?

From the standard SW view. Those weird brackets sticking out from the side are where the very brave framers rest scaffolds to sit and stand on. This is why they are professionals and we are not: there's no way you'd see either of us up there.


What you see to the right is actually the new front of the house; the holes are for windows (not all of which are cut out yet).

From straight-on west. The dumpster, though so familiar that it now seems like part of our lot just like the trees or the driveway, is actually still temporary.

From the northwest. This one-story section is where the bedrooms are.

From the east. Those garage doors lead to the Basement of the Lambs (now reformed).

From the southeast: There will eventually be first- and second-floor porches where those big openings are.

Your friend,
Snout
