The Culmer House...we've cleaned it up, but there was only a first floor and no roof.
Photo of the location of the house, under construction. The white house on the left is owned by the church, and is housing -- a kind of hostel. The yellow house is our neighbors.

Second story in front of house--there will be a deck along the front, and there's a circular patio on the lower level. There will also be a screened in porch on the lower floor...for sleeping, and bug-free snoozing.
