Against Nyle's Wishes

Nyle really didn't want me to blog about our house all the time...he didn't want people to think we were bragging or boasting about it all the time. I see it a little differently. This is our work. It will be a showpiece for our clients to show what we can do. Some of you have wanted to see pictures to keep updated. This is the easiest and best way to do it. So, I thought I would post some detail shots for now. I don't think I will get into too much trouble for that :)
The rock on the face of the house along with a little bit of siding.
Cool arched hallway from the mud room to the kitchen
Our new patio. It was just poured today! We stamped it with a slate-looking stamp and put some color in it too. I really like it!
The bonus room! My kids will probably live up here. But when it's the girl's weekend, I can already see the blow-up mattresses everywhere!
This is the feature Nyle is most proud of. If you can't tell what it is, it is a barrel vault meeting another barrel vault. It was a bit tricky for everyone, but we think it turned out cool!

Will Nyle let me boast of the door that I helped put up? The door you can see one in the picture of the patio is one of the 3 doors. Photos look great!!!!!!!

YEAH! It looks like a house now! I love the rock on the outside!! The house is cool and all, but i want to see what you do to it! Cause you are so talented and you have amazing taste!

Brett, again, we couldn't have done those doors without you! You were amazing. Did everyone see his doors?
Julia, you are too nice! I think I may need to start up a fund so that I can decorate this house. I don't think you will be too impressed with the camping chairs we will have set up in the family room. Oh well, I don't care. I just want to move in. We are still a long ways off!
