I am going Hoity. .. but not Toity.

Slate. . .it's my wife's call. She loves slate and only wants to wet mop to clean.

Lookin' good, David!

[dermotcoll]

Looking sweet David - soon getting to the expensive part - finishing and furnishing!!

[david_h]

Thanks guys. You ain't just a woofin' there. The finish guy on the job is very very good. He's also very very expensive. We've been beating people up pretty good on their prices because of the economy and their need for work, etc etc, but as I have said before. I have 1 chance to do this right and there is very little I am willing to compromise on as far as design and craftsmanship. . seeing as this is a CRAFTSMAN Style home.

So. . .it will be beautiful, wonderful. I'll live in 3 days and then have to put it up for sale cuz I can't afford to live in it.

As of Yesterday!!!!!

I meant to say "An Architect" of course.
Me fail English? That's Unpossible!

Hmm..what about that arch near the entrance ..it looks a bit ugly(?!¿),couldn't the radius be smaller? . (imho)

Other than that..looks pretty nice..vegetation needed .

Good luck!

Don't sugar-coat it like that. Tell me what you really think.

I have wrestled with the guys on the radius. . .In the interest in time, and cost . .. well it is what it is.

[ely862me]

Ok..it s ugly;very bad chopped...
I would gladly fix that for you..for free.. just to make it look good.

[david_h]

thanks. I will consider bringing you over from Romania to do that.

[ely862me]

.. actually i think u can do it yourself.. I suppose that round piece is a bent wood(right) u can put together some wood and mill it in the nearest wood milling machine u have, then cut the old covering wood..
Anyway..there are some guys around who would gladly advice u which is the best way .

Cheers!
