Trying To Take It To The Next Level.

I have to saw i am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to build the project i am working on now. I have a huge budget and we are able to use expensive materials and do things that we do not see done much!

Re: Trying To Take It To The Next Level.

Front walkways are not ordinary either. This is the start of the side door entrance. We have a 12" pebble boarder. Then against the drive we have 2 solid 1'x5' granite slabs. Then the feild is 2" granite cut down from a slab with grass joints.

Re: Trying To Take It To The Next Level.

I don't like the green bathroom addition on the back of the house, but the slide gives you a quick get-a-way.

your work looks great though.
