An occasional peek at the construction progress of Steve's house in Philadelphia

October 29, 2005

Just one picture this time, from the front showing the brick work mostly completed. I skipped the last two weeks for pictures, since the scaffolding obscured everything anyway. Which is why there's no picture from the back this time - all scaffolding.

First picture is from the front; it's the second house from the left. The windows are in! The plastic is to keep the rain out. Second is from the back, showing the windows and the sliding glass doors that will lead from my home office to the back yard. Don't worry, the trash will be picked up. And I have no idea what that blue wood panel is, either.

Something special this time: three pictures!

First picture is from the front, looking at the garage; the entrance door is to the left. The pile of bricks is for the front.

Second picture is also from the front, a view of the entire house. You can barely make out where the deck is. The wall behind that is to the master suite.

Last one is a full view from the back. Windows from bottom to top: office with sliding door to the yard, kitchen, spare bedroom (for the time being). The two smaller windows to the right are in the stairwell. The sweatshirt is not mine.

First picture is from the front; it's the second house from the left. Fourth story is framed; this view includes the 4th floor deck (there will be a roof deck, too). The second picture (from the back and second house from the left) shows the master bathroom on the 4th floor.

Two pictures sgain this time. First is from the back; it's the middle house (the one with the guy standing in the first floor. The second is from the front; it's the left-most house.

Two pictures this time, both of the third floor going up. First is from the back of the house (the first time you get to see it) and the second is from an angle, once again.

Second from the left. Part of the third floor is outlined. Ignore the cell phone tower in the background. I'm told that the existing residents are trying to have it removed. On the good side, I imagine I would get great reception throughout the house.

Second story outlined. I had to take this one from the street, since nobody was working when I went by at 7:30am. It's the one in the middle of the picture.

In front of the garage.

It's the last cinder block-outlined flattened bit of dirt.

It's the one with the big pile of dirt in the middle of the cinder blocks.
