Suspension

Our neighborhood received a big addition!  And I captured the magic of human ingenuity on camera.
I first noticed something was, shall I say, up, when I glanced out of the screened window of our second floor.

It wasn't until I saw this contraption that I realized the magnitude of the project...
The lonely house next door was about to receive its second half!
The wooden frame was uncovered, strapped up, and ready to go!  Precariously, the crane began hoisting it into the air.
We collectively inhaled as the shell swung dangerously close to the edge of our home.  Five feet too wide and our house would be toast!
We also said some prayers for the man down below.
And presto! No damage done.  Who's up for moving in? :)
