territorial views

Being in the middle of a city block that is located in a valley, our views are what real estate agents call "territorial".  This first picture will somewhat be the view from the dining room and out on the deck.  I love seeing the gables and different house forms going up the hill....I'm not crazy about that electrical pole though.

Below will be our main view from our 2nd story space.  I'm standing in the approximate area of our kitchen island.  This also shows why I angled the building slightly.  We still over look our neighbors yard, but the slight skew directs the view more diagonal to the southeast.

The floor trusses under the dining room needed to be hung from a beam to give us the maximum flexibility for our home offices below.

The garage: aka Neil's space.

This is looking out the apartment's kitchen sink windows.
