more cottage archaeology

[15_the_circle]

as the deshingling campaign moves aloft the cottage continues to reveal fresh detail.  having managed to get home from work at an unusually reasonable hour I went up to see whether the siding on the front of the house runs the rest of the way up the front wall.  it does.  and behind the shingles was the inadvertently stenciled outline of more lost detail -- the upstairs front window once resembled those of many other Grove cottages, with some attractive trim above it. 

figuring out how to do The Right Thing with these details is going to take some time and will likely slow things down a bit.  yes, they have become... im-pediments.
