I was interested to see that you went with the accident version of Jack's death - as you had him trying to recall it (ugh...). Some folk are of the view that cos AP uses the words "the accident" in her prose & only refers to it as the tire iron in conjunction with this being Ennis's thoughts, that it actually was an accident & the tire iron was purely Ennis's view. This doesn't make much difference to your story I don't think, other than making it heart-rending to think of Jack being aware of being attacked so viciously, but I picked up on it cos I've been thinking on it of late & I've come down on the "it was an accident" view after many months of deliberation.
Actually, I went with the attack version. If you re-read Jack's recollections in Chapter 16, he recalls getting in a few good licks against his attackers and that "mercifully one of the heavy pipes his assailants had used had broken his neck early on." But personally, I never have decided what version is the "correct" one. If Jack's death was an accident, there's a horrible irony in Ennis situation: he's sacrificed the life he could have had with Jack thinking that if they avoid this one danger (gay-bashing), they'll both be safe. Never stops to think that there are thousands of ways a person can die and any of them could happen to either him or Jack at any time.
However, if Jack was going to continue as a character in the story after his physical death, and I wanted to tell anything from his POV, I had to decide on a cause of death. Jack would certainly remember what happened.
The house pics are great btw 
Thanks! Hope Ennis likes the house too....
