Mike lending a hand to the framers across the street

Last night, Jan and Mike and I were complaining about the size of the house going up across the street--a huge house with practically no yard.  The audacity--we said--of people to intrude on our little cottage district with such a monstrosity, so close to the street, with no room for a barrier of plants!

At this point, it looks a bit like a skyscraper amidst little houses, and it's going to block a big hunk or our view of the sky.  But in spite of all that, I saw Mike helping the framers this afternoon--just itching to get in on the building project!
