The Neighbour's New Place

When Ralph and Debbie visited us in June this year, our neighbors below us were in the midst of a flurry of construction activity.  At that point, foundations had been poured, the house framed .. and then  we all watched as another floor went up on top of the other two and the roofline encroached ever closer to blocking our view of the ocean.  Now, this wouldn't have been a cause for general alarm, but we have only two smallish views of the ocean and they are important to the resale value of our house.

Ralph asked me to send him pictures as the construction went along and I'm pleased to say I've had the port in my computer repaired and am able to download from my camera with ease. So .. without further ado, Ralph .. here you go:

June 11.  Roofline getting closer!

 
This is about a week after Ralph and Deb hopped on their bike and took off for the Alberta border.

June 24:  Ocean view unharmed  - whew!

Jul 12:  Not much going on since.

The house sat like this throughout most of July and August.  Now that September is here to remind us of the imminent arrival another chilly, wet winter ... the banging and pounding have picked up again.

The Forest Pansy tree in the foreground is leafing out rather nicely, don't you think? Look at the color change in the next picture.

Sept 5:  Siding is up and concrete poured.  Ocean in background!
