Windows, Vents and Dormers...Oh My!

Last night, I drove out to the house to meet Blaine. As I turned onto Highland Waye (my street), I could see smoke rolling out of the neighborhood. I nearly choked and cried all at the same time. I could feel my heart pounding thump, thump, thump in my stomach. With my bad luck, I just knew it was my house. BUT as I kept driving, I thankfully realized that it was not our house. (Blaine had seen it too and had the same reaction.) I guess when you put this much time and effort into something, any little thing will make you feel like you are going to throw up.

The house was still there and it is coming right along. It seems like in the past 5 days, it has really began to look like a house...finally. We have a roof over our heads, the windows are in place, the doors are hung (except the infamous front door), we have our dormer built and the copper vents are positioned perfectly (thanks to Blaine's watchful eye.)
