Look-Off Progress

As of this afternoon, the look-off looked like this. The strange sloped area is intended to simulate a rooftop and the whole structure is therefore a widow's walk. The sloped area on the opposite side has been shingled already.

Shirley and I thought that the area beneath the structure would invite teenage parties etc. but apparently it is either going to be back filled with dirt/gravel and then closed in entirely, or at least closed in. There will be a ramp at the front and a railing around the whole surface. A couple of benches are planned as well as a light.

When the structure is finished, Spencer's is going to be landscaping around it, and eventually when the wood has aged sufficiently it will be coated with Thomson's water seal.

The view from the left front corner is spectacular - looking out to Carter Island and will likely become a favourite spot for graduation and wedding photos.
