Before & After

These before-and-after images of different projects allow you to compare a picture taken BEFORE we began the project with another taken AFTER we completed it, as the white line moves back and forth, covering one image while revealing the other.  If you move your cursor onto the image, the line will jump to the center and stop.  You can then drag the line anywhere you wish with your cursor.
