Teardown adds windows, siding, curves

I'm participating in Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Thought you might like an update on the teardown across the street. There is a slide show at the bottom with the whole sequence so far.

Every detail makes a difference.
If it was a dog, we'd say it was growing into her feet. Remember?

Every day brings a new look. Here is the eyebrow dormer:

You can't tell from this one picture but the eyebrow curve will be picked up everywhere. It looks forlorn with no windows.

The windows and siding are going up: shingles and Hardiplank. The windows will be dark, the planks and shingles are pre-finished but not in the final color. There will be a lot of stone too.

Here is the recessed side door, pleasantly sheltered by a paneled bump-out.

What is inside the bumpout? A sunny room I'm sure.

Check the curves: eyebrow, gable window, segmental arch for the porch. There is more to come: curved roof over the front door and curved transom.

It's not fair to call this a teardown anymore. This is becoming a seriously good house.

Thanks,
