The Walls are Rising on our New Home!

Well, since our last post (August 2) the walls are going up (just today) so our new home is getting very real!  Here are a few more photos for those following our work.  We've now added photos that go through September 15 to show further progress--two months to-the-day since we started work....  Enjoy!
