It's all about perspective!





Sunny days are bringing lots of progress. Here are a few views. The pictures taken from the north show a big community room/office building! Outside, it is about 18 feet to the roof. Inside, in the community room, the ceiling will be 11 feet above the floor. You can get an idea from the first two pictures of the windows. In the first picture, the smallest window, furthest right, will be in the office. The window next to it is in the entry, right outside the office. In the second picture, you can see that the community room/office building is almost as big as the 3 stories behind it. Or maybe not. Look at the third picture (taken from the south). The community room has definitely shrunk! And there are those perspective lines that your art teacher was always talking about. Whatever way you look at them, it's pretty exciting to see the buildings going up!
