Visual Progress

Visual Progress at Last!

 

 If yesterday was a milestone, today was the visualization of the milestone.  We created most of the structure for the right side wall.

This view is from the front.  The framing square is in the opening for the door.  The window opening is just behind, aligned with the top of the door opening.
