View from my deck

I've got windows!

Yes I do!

Well, my sanctuary has windows.

The boys were here bright and early this morning and by 9:00am, the windows were installed.

I can't even begin to imagine how these guys do what they do -- you couldn't pay me to be up there!  But they walk around like it's nothing!

Here's another shot from the north side (again, the deck is to the left), this time without John:

That opening on the side has to remain until they break through the wall in the pantry because otherwise they would not have access to the room.  Once they have everything sealed up tight (read:  roof completely closed in), one guy will cut through the pantry wall whilst the other finishes closing the outside wall.  And that's when they will start accessing the room by way of the deck ... the porch ... the dining room ... and the kitchen.

I can't wait!

Anyway, John told me there was a great shot from the woods. So into the woods I went to take a photo from the west side:

This is the view the bears will have as they approach the house now (they used to see the deck).  And that window is positioned perfectly for John to hunt deer without leaving home -- yeh, right!

The boys assure me that the site will be cleaned up when they're finished (all remnants and trash will be removed - honest!).

So now there will be no further progress before next week, with Thanksgiving week-end upon us.

I'll spend the next few days emptying the pantry in a manner that will give me access to the food stuff that we might need while everything is topsy-turvy in this household for the next couple of weeks.

Wish me luck.
