Overview 2010

There's not much to report today.  In a little while I'll run out to the house to see if the painters are at work.  However, "watching paint dry" doesn't make for informative photos.  Instead, being about two weeks from completion, I thought it might be interesting to look back at the construction process to date.  This post covers 2010; tomorrow's will cover 2011.
