IMG_3651.JPG (578787 bytes) Back of the house. We finally asked about the office window being installed backwards (the window locks are currently on the OUTside). Enough time had passed that we were beginning to wonder.

Turns out that it's on purpose when they're ready to drywall upstairs, they remove the window and pass the drywall through so they don't have to schlep it up the interior stairs. Duh!

And, as cruddy as the weather had been this week, they've still broken ground on the next house. Trees have been cleared, and there's a hole in the ground for a basement.
