Had to go to Duck to point out where the outlets go, pick out lights, tile, and some other stuff. The surf was up and partway through the day the workers looked out, decided the waves were too good, grabbed their wet suits and surfed. (Hey, it was Saturday, I'm just glad they were there at all.) The shingles are on, the roof's in place, as are many of the windows. View from the street:

The four windows on the left looked a bit crooked in person, but not here.

Another from the street, but nw to se. Note the hardiboard siding is in place in a few areas. It's an interesting material for siding a house: wooden planks impregnated with Portland cement. Makes the planks uniform so they hold paint better. It's not painted yet; once the trim and such are all in place, the colors should look something like this house:

That house didn't have painted decks, but the front decks on this house will be painted.

Continuing in a circle around the house, you can see the skylights over the kitchen (left) and the bathroom of the upstairs master bedroom…

The room to the lower left is my bedroom, the room above it is the office. Windows to the right on the top floor are the kitchen.

Looking from a walkway over the dune back towards the street (ne to sw):

The fact that it's set back a ways from the dune really makes it look small from the beach. You'll also note that after 40 years I still haven't figured out how to compose a picture -- I've taken this shot twice now and both times I didn't notice the overturned table in the foreground until I got home. <sigh>

Another view, from the other neighbor's deck, affords a view of the living room -- the line of windows in the middle of the second floor. The picture window flanked by a casement on either side is the dining room. To the left will be a small screened-in porch.

Viewed from the dune back to the street, you can again see my bedroom door (first floor), office (right side, second floor), dining room, living room.

Inside the house, my office is taking shape. You can see the frame for the walls and the raised floor. The cathedral ceiling looks pretty neat even before they put drywall on it.

And the view out of the living room now that the windows are in:

And toward the dining room:

And the fun kind of stuff you see on the way home…

It's some religious group. Presumably when they say "brainwashing," they're not referring to religious teaching of children too small to have grown defensive bullshit filters yet. They're probably talking about that godless New York Times, the notoriously Stalinist Washington Post, or the Zionist chain of National Public Radio stations. I mean every one of them thinks it's a bad idea that the sign's designer is married to his sister, right?
