3We’ve come a long way, baby.
We made our daily pit stop on the way home from school and watched as they worked on finishing up the siding on the front of the house. I just love how the mixed siding looks! I love the windows! I love the roof!
And I love the doors that open from our bedroom onto the… nothing. Deep breaths; we will have a deck there at some point.
Earlier in the day, I had done a quick drive-by and watched them hoist those doors up to the second floor using a very precarious pulley system. When I say I drove by quickly, I mean it. I didn’t have the stomach to watch them smash to the ground. But they didn’t! There they are!
I swear, I could totally set out a folding chair and watch them work all day long. If I weren’t so freaking pregnant, I would even lend a hand.

It’s looking great and seems to be progressing very fast.

I really love the three little windows. That’s my favorite thing about modern house design…three little windows. It seems quite popular and makes me want my own. However, I don’t think they’d look quite the same on a ranch.

Thanks, ya’ll!
Is the 3-window thing modernist or just contemporary? It seems like I see it everywhere these days, and I really need to take pics of good examples. I don’t know what it is about three… Anyway, I imagine that in 50 years, people will drive around and say, “You can tell which of these are turn-of-the-century because of those three little windows!” LOL
