January 17 2008
This week they busted in! This shot is where our kitchen window used to be. It was taken out and reinstalled in the new exterior wall. The hole was covered in plastic and plywood to keep the cold and critters out. Yes, we know it does look lovely doesn't it? Reminds me a lot of my first apartment.
Here is the outside of the old house.
New window on right, old on the left, no wait a second, is that right? Wait another second....aren't those transoms supposed to match?
New look from the outside
We're getting there, wish us luck.

Hard to believe that it has been forty years this Saturday since Darrell stepped back into the jungle never to be seen again.

January 11 shots:
First and foremost Jackson receives an award today at 2:00 for being a West Carteret Good Patriot, we're very proud of him. Now for some shots from this week: this is how the old roof will be incorporated into the new room. In front of the studs will be sheetrock from the new room The new windows are here, looks like they missed on the grid on top, looks like a delay.......
Shot from the side, you can see the Tyvek keeping us airtight, the deck benches, and the privacy shield so that we can't see our heat pump
Another shot of the fence; wonder if we'll still be able to hear the traffic on 24?

New Year's Eve 2007
Had the Highs down for two nights at the Billie Bee; lots of good food, fun and fellowship for the extended weekend. The weather cooperated, woke up this morning to a millpond slick sunrise. Enjoy the pictures


Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
