i don't have that many good shots from the outside that give a good prespective & it's dark out & cold right now so instead i'll put up some shots as it was going up & maybe you'll get a better feel for it that way. this is from my backyard before the excavation started.this is around the middle of May.

excavation starting. the walk in door is my first addition five years ago. the big living room window up top on the left used to go straight down & was right on top of the old garage door. they called this a drive under garage.[IMG]
