Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am
"Out of nothing at all..." (for all you Air Supply soft-rock 80's fans) -
Cottage 7 springs from the ground, kind of like the ferns, tree blossoms and early flowers since spring has arrived - sunny, sunny, sunny -

4 days - and now starts the roof.
Cottage 6 is Finished.
Cottage 6 is a simple 1300 sq ft cottage with a lot of care in the details. It's not everyday we installed duel heat lamps in the bath, a steam unit, a movie room, salvage barn siding flooring, and exposed rafter porches. Here's a pic of the house while climbing the hill from the brook.
And a shot looking eastward.
Standing in the kitchen/dining room looking into the living room. Note the elements - 2 chalkboard doors, exposed rafters in the kitchen, perfect old floors with hand cut nails.
A pic of the bathroom under the glow of the duel heat lamps. Clawfoot tub, vessel sink, and local bluestone on the floor.
Very large and roomy shower/steam room with glass tiles and bluestone flooring.
The office/spare bedroom.
Living room looking into the kitchen and up the stairs.
We started this cottage in November and worked pretty hard at through the winter. The owner was only able to visit 3 times during construction so our ability to understand the direction of the homeowner was put to the test since the collaboration was mostly pictures and phone calls. I think it's safe to say it worked out just fine.
Another architectural gem to decorate the landscape of Sullivan County.

A Day's Work
We are busy. Everyday. Including Saturdays and Sundays. A sampling - We started framing Cottage 7. Began the demo and restoration of a 130 yr old farmhouse. Are completing the landscaping at Lot 1 and Lot 2 at Highland Farms. Getting the CO for Cottage 6 so we can get 'er sold. Getting the CO for Monte so he can sleep in peace. Beginning the subdivision work for the 50 acres I bought last Friday. Continuing the work at the office space so I can move in by the end of May or so. Planning the design of the McGinnis Cottage (2nd draft), planning the design for Adam and Brian (Cottage 9), getting started on the contract and design for Gayle. All in all - quite exciting, considering the doomsday scenarios being bandied about.
