These photos aren't great but Ben was able to climb the ladder this morning and get a peek at the upstairs. You start to get a good feel for the size of the windows. They are going to be BIG - much larger than before. We really enjoy mid-century architecture, and though we decided against buying a mid-century home (real estate professionals assure us that it is a fad with a 20% markup), we wanted to incorporate as many elements of mid-century architecture as we could. We worked hard to place large windows in most of the rooms to bring light in and to arrange the windows on the exterior so that everything looked well balanced.
We also created a wall of clerestory windows (pronounced "clear story" but not spelled that way!) in the master bedroom to eliminate the line of sight into our neighbor's house and vice versa. In fact, every window, except one, on the South side of the house will be a clerestory window. The clerestory windows are a great way to create privacy for our family - which is hard to do on a skinny, 4,000 sq. ft. lot.

The weather is looking great for the next week so we should be able to get the roof on without any further rain damage to the existing house.
