We didn't get to the Lake this weekend, but, lucky for us, our neighbors, Dick and Linda, and our architecht, Sam, were on hand to send us great pictures of the week's progress. And, lucky for Jeryl and his crew, the beautiful - and dry - October weather continued.
Here's where we are, exactly one month under construction:
The back of the house has a roof:
The foundation for the kitchen addition is well underway:
I still love how the house looks from this angle:

| This big tree will be removed: top half got blown over in storm last summer! |

Inside, the upstairs is gutted and will have bigger windows (on order) and tall ceilings (no more fearing decapitation by ceiling fan for taller members of our family):
And here's a side of the house that we haven't seen in a while - the west side:
Our long-time lovely next door neighbor, Betty Brooks, sold her property this summer. The lot was very wooded and demanded much care, as can be seen by these pictures:

| Our house is in there somewhere! |
The upkeep was difficult for Betty as she aged and battled physical challenges. With a new owner, transformations are happening at the same time as ours. There is some clearing going on next door!
Wow!
And, look at how our view will change from the front porch next summer:

| Lake Wawasee! |

We'll keep you posted!
The new view from the porch has me so excited! Can't wait for that cocktail light to go on!!! :)
