These pictures give some idea about the size of the house next door. In this picture, you can see my house on the left and a portion of the new house on the right.
And this is a picture of the new house taken from approximately the same spot. Both pictures were taken on 7 January 2005.
And this is what the new house looks like as of 17 January 2006.
Construction on the outside shell of the house next door started on 21 December 2005. This was what the view looked like from my back yard as of 31 December 2005.
My house is at the top of a circular cul-de-sac. This is a view of the house next door taken from the top of the circle.
This is a view taken from the middle of the circle.
