Re: My Last Project




I love the French country look. Something sadly lacking up here in the PNW.

Looks great.

Only three chimneys? Wow, you guys are cheap. We install one for every 1000 sq/ft of floor space.

Re: My Last Project


Thanks guys. I'll be honest with you. I'm pretty computer savy, but it took 20 minutes just to post that one picture...and I'm not sure how I did it. I'll post the details, if I can figure out how to shrink the size.

Mike- the house is in Santa Ana, Cowan heights to be exact (up on the hill).

Nice job, Laurie.

"oh the stories I could tell about that marble fireplace mantle!"

So go ahead and tell them, we like stories.

I gave a proposal to a guy up in that neighborhood for a BUNCH of t&g ceiling work + false beams. My bid was $56k. I lost to a price of $50k. The guy was the owner of the Kings Fish House resuraunt chain. It would be funny if that was the same house. This was almost a year ago. the house wasn't even dried in yet.

Thanks everyone. That house was not the PITA customer. I'll post pics from that house later.

Mike- not the same guy, but if you're in the area let me know. We have built five houses on the hill (starting #6 in a few days), I'd love to show you my work.
