Into A Beautiful Swan

We had the official ribbon cutting on our first two buildings today. It was a bunch of ridiculous pomp and circumstance that none of us really wanted to endure. Regardless, we're glad to have gotten this far, and everyone seems ready to get moving on the next two.
But first, I wanted to show a few before and after pictures. Here's the exterior.

The buildings were started by contractors who ran out of money and faulted on the contract. They sat unfinished for a year before we started on them.

Our biggest hurdle was scrounging for parts, and there was a lot of pressure on us. I seriously don't know how we made it happen, but eventually things came together.

I took these pictures today. It's weird to think the finished product ever looked like it did before.

With the materials we were given and the amount of time we had, I'd say we did a pretty good job. And I think the next two will turn out even better.
