A friend came over to the build site to help us maneuver the 9 foot roll of house wrap around the house. (Thank you, Brigitte!)

Because several people have asked, several times, if there is a place they can go to just see a collection of pictures of the house in progress, there is now a separate page just for those of you who don't feel like wading through the words to see how things are going.
