A bit of New England in our Backyard

For many years our family traveled to the New England coast for a holiday.  More specifically, our annual summer trip for the past 18 years or so has been to Cape Cod either renting a cottage or camping at Nickerson state park.

Over the years I have fallen in love with New England architecture and, for a long time have dreamed of having a bit of the Cape in our own back yard.  Last year, we had a pool installed which provided me with a great opportunity to build a small pool house with salt-box roof lines and cedar shingle siding. And of course transom windows - you see these a lot in the Cape.  Here is a photo of the work in progress which I hope to have completed in the next week or so.
