House for my Parents

[EddieWalker]

After much discussion, and my changing my mind about the mantel, we raised it quite a bit higher. I had an image in my mind of what it was supposed to look like, but the more I looked at it, the more I didn't like it where it was at. It wasn't to code either, but it was close, so I went to code, and then quite a bit farther to get the look that I think works the best.

I finished the built in today. The doors took the longest, the rest is just a matter of making boxes and trimming the front edges off. What is shocking is just how big a difference they make to the room. It seems bigger!!!!!

Tomorrow I'll start working on the rock.

Nice! Your Mom didn't waste any time decorating her mantle.

It looks great. I think built ins have a way of drawing your eyes up so you realize how high the ceilings are. Keep up the good work.

This looks very nice. I can't wait to see it with stone on it. Glad you are happy with it. I like the built in shelves.

I put up all the rock we had left over today from doing the outside of the house. I think I'm a couple boxes short, which my dad will pick up sometime soon.
