Surprise

The rain has slowed the rock yard down so Bill headed to home to get some stuff done. After work I went Birthday present shopping for 3 grand kids. Yes, three of our four have their birthdays within two weeks of each other. When I got home what to my wondering eyes appeared?

 Bill had started the eyebrow over the West Wing door. When our businesses are moved to the house this will be the door renters and business visitors will come to. It leads directly into the Trophy Room and the offices will be to the right . We wanted to show an entrance but not detract from the entry going into the Residence. I went to a home builders home last December to deliver a Christmas gift and saw they had four doors on the front of their house. It was a large home yet I had to stand back to determine which door was the one I was suppose to go up to. They were all possible front doors. Luckily, their concrete salesman came just then and said he had gone back to his car and called them to ask where to go. We don't want that problem so this will be just prominent enough for people to see but not fight for attention with the front door. The overhang will come out three feet, so if someone has to wait for us to unlock the door and it's raining they won't get too wet.

 This picture shows how long the West Wing and garage are before they turn the corner and become the Residence. We are trying to come up with as many ideas as we can to break it up into smaller visual pieces.

 Bill is fighting Tennis Elbow right now so the air hammer is the only way we can get anything done. It would not be a good thing if he had to stand on the ground and tell me what to do.  I do not hammer well; poor hand eye co-ordination.

 Couldn't wait had to bring some of the rock over to see what the columns will look like. They are going to be small and just wrap the corner of the door inset. The open door to the left will be removed when the garage roof is finished.

Then to make my day even better I saw that he had installed the door handle on our beautiful front door. I was going to do this but he discovered that we needed to redrill the factory holes. They didn't line up right.You would think when you spend this kind of money on a door things would be right. I don't make alterations, if something is going to get messed up let it be Bill  not me. So one more thing he had to do.
