Wide Angle Photos Round #1

As I mentioned in my last post, Brian went to the house a few days (weeks?) ago and took some wide angle shots.  Not only are they awesome and art-sy but they also lend a better perspective often times.  I may or may not have mentioned this is the last post, but I have two separate groups of photos from him so here goes round #1.


Since these pictures are a little older, I figured I should update you on the house as well.  For those of you not in St. Louis, I'll just let you know that it is now officially winter here.  Meaning that you need more than a light jacket and we have had snow now.  And by snow I mean about two inches...but that might be overly generous.  Since there was snow and some other precipitation earlier in the week, things slowed down a little bit, but are still moving along.  To my knowledge, the major things that happened this week were the roof being put on and the basement being poured.  Both major steps to continuing the project.

It's a little dark, but that's the backyard and back of the house as seen from the dirt pile

Shadows from the dirt pile

The tresses from the roof.  I think there have been similar pictures posted already.

Lots of old siding and debris.

The new part of the roof is just barely peeking out from this view.

Like I said, cooler, art-sy shots.  The tresses are really big...obviously since the crane had to come move them!

Getting into the more noticeable wide angle shots.  This probably gives a better idea of how high the ceilings are going to be in that back room.

The entrance from the garage.

I promise the dirt pile really is huge!  On the far right side you can kind of see the walk out from the basement.

This used to be the doorway between the den and backroom.  Soon it won't exist at all.

Lots and lots of tresses.  And the square part in the back is where my room will be.

The stairs from the basement leading up.  They are SO wide now!

Having fun playing in all the dust.

Since the rooms upstairs will have full 8 foot ceilings, the peak of the roof will be taller now. That board all along the top is where the new roof will be.  And because the roof will be taller, the chimney has to be raised so it clears the height of the house more.

Okay, well that is round one of Brian's photos.  Hopefully the next round will be up soon.  I start school again on Tuesday which means the time I get to spend posting on here will probably be cut back.  Though truthfully, it will be hard to cut back on it too much when progress is being made at such a quick pace.
