Scott in window

...my photography skills leave a lot to be desired. This is actually
the view from the bathroom. How pretty!

The Bay!

This is the window from our bedroom. We'll limb some of the trees a bit for a better view. I cannot wait! They say February we can move in? It's just so exciting.

Two fronts.

I'm totally crazy about the screened porch that will be facing the bay! See below.

Ta da!

The final story is up! It's starting to really look like a house now! This is the road-side view facing Decatur. I like the shed dormers-- we were able to stil "meet" egress but also have smaller windows that will go up there. Should be cute.

The Bay view

You can start to see where our porch will be!

A wedding cake

Lauer moves fast! The second story was framed in just over a week. I'll admit, when I first saw this, in contrast to the Beatrix Potter home next door, I had to swallow hard. There's still another layer to go!

Stuff. And more stuff.

Smartly, Scott contacted a local real estate pro, who came in and assessed our Baltimore home for selling. The outcome? No less than 20 trips to goodwill. And putting all our "good" things in a POD unit, currently parked in front of our house. We're not too popular on the block these days. Even with the goodwill & pod, it's still a juggling act trying to paint and get this place up to snuff. Piles moved from one side of the house to the other. The good news is that we've made a TON of progress. Thanks for a lot of Scott sweat & muscle. Oh, and our fix-it guy, a Polish fellow named Ted who goes by Ted Pole. We love Ted Pole. Seriously, I want to buy him a present.
