Family Room669 viewsHere's a view of our family room, which features a second fireplace and wet bar, as well as cedar walls. We purchased a leather sectional and matching coffee table for this room, and also new carpet. This is a great place to sit by the fire and watch a movie. This is how it looked before we got our current TV. These days, we have a LCD flat panel where the picture is over the fireplace.

Previous Owner's Bedroom666 viewsThis picture shows the master bedroom as the previous owner had it. This bedroom is one of four in the home. We made major changes to the look in here as well-- new draperies, paint scheme, and new carpet. We'll get a picture of it here sometime soon.

Small side rail completed656 viewsThe completed small railing, sans finishing. To get to this point, we cut each baluster to the proper length, glued it into position, and tacked it into place with a pneumatic brad nailer. Then, small "fillet" strips are cut to length and fit in the upper and lower rails, giving it a finished look. Rail spacing is carefully governed by code: a 4" sphere must not pass between any point on the finished railing. This required a bit of math and careful calculations, since the spindles are tapered.

Pond Fountain653 viewsHere's a picture of the pond, showing the fountain we added in April 2003. In the background is the back of our house, and also Bailey. The waterfowl actually seem to kind of enjoy the fountain. We changed the nozzle of the fountain in 2004 which gives it a better pattern, and helps keep it from clogging.

The Old Deck640 viewsThe last picture we took of the old deck before it was demolished. The rose bushes, which had just flowered, were cut back and later moved to the side of the house, where they are doing well.
