Merely an illusion. Pretty good. Huh? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
</font> OK, I borrowed this idea from one of eddie's pictures.... put some accent pieces over the windows. Might be a tad much...or.....it could just be the fireworks. The 'emu' has wondered off. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

psst.. the round half circles over the windows was from moi!
Don,
<font color="blue"> Bmac, Is their plans for a circular drive?
</font>
In the original architectural rendering, there was a circular drive. Once the house was started, it seemed to me that a circular drive would have consumed too much of the front yard. Due to lot boundaries and huge ravines, I couldn't easily just cut down more trees keep a circular drive from being a bit overpowering. So, even before the budget dried up, we deleted it from the plans. Which is good, because as it is I've cut my concrete budget by 60%. No way would we have been able to do the circle thing.

bmac,
I'm sorry to hear there's no plans for a circular drive. I just worked up a design with a circular drive and what I thought would be a great addition. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If there's any of these idea's you would like to see put together or have any other idea's just let me know. If I can put it together, I will.

PS: Sorry Rox. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Houston... The rooster has landed....
Progress report. Busy day at the ol' homestead today. The concrete for the parking pad, sidewalk and a short, stubby driveway was poured. My builder said they delivered 48 yards.
Most of the appliances were installed. The electricians and plumbers tried to finish things up. We found a couple of mistakes this evening. There is a minor light fixture issue and the faucet for the main kitchen is the wrong one. This faucet problem is the most aggravating. I think I mentioned that the plumber broke the 1st faucet during installation so they had to re-order it. It remained on back order for some time. Now that it was reinstalled, we noticed that it is the wrong one. Actually, it is the right style but the wrong finish. This should have been easily seen as there is an identical faucet on the small sink and they clearly do not match. However, other than a delay, this is an easily correctable problem.
Trim carpenters back tomorrow and the closet folks are supposed begin thsir installation tomorrow as well. Carpet on Friday.
I'll get some pictures soon, probably Friday.

Took several pictures today. Alot of repetition in some areas(different views of the same stuff). I guess I'll start with the closets. All of the built-ins were completed last week. First photo is the wife's closet. Keep in mind that these are small rooms and getting a good perspective is impossible with my camera. I know, excuses, excuses. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
