See you on the flip side

No roof guy, no HVAC, but Denny and Steve were toiling away inside, wiring the master bedroom and bath.

Ref, Brantley and Nathaniel, holding the ladder, had set up the laser-spinner in the right rear corner of the yard, getting ready to shoot control lines for the siding on the south and east walls.

Notice the shiny patch just this side of Ref: It's a dummy window out of sheet metal, to be covered by shutters that are permanently closed.

Keeping the old window there would have screwed up the layout of the little guest room and bath, but the historic architecture commission makes you keep all the "openings" on the original part of the house -- even if they're faked with closed shutters.
