The house as it stands today

Yesterday, our reward for a glorious morning of gardening was touring the lake in the pride of our fleet: Spacey P. The photo above shows the shore view of the house, which helps provide an orientation for the desired south elevation.

From here you can see the 20 leaky skylights over the great room, as well as the structure struggling to hold up our deck. The white house above is that of our across-the-street neighbor, whose view we won’t be blocking with our design because we are adding onto the back rather then building higher.
