Very nice.

P.S. What's a storm room?

Great looking building!!

I've done a little framing in my time and know that you tested your builders with your design!! I'd say you made it about as complicated as you could!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No way would I have wanted that job, just too much time on fitting all the angles together. My hats off to your builder. It's really hard to make a buck off jobs like that unless you know your stuff and have a great crew!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congratulations,
Eddie

That's what I keep calling it, but I think it's more commonly (and appropriately) known as a mudroom. Just a small covered entry room where the boots/coats/dog leashes etc. can be kept.

I'm no builder, but yup...every time I look at it, I see something else and wonder "how did they do that?" /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

So many of the little details were "done on the fly" by the builder. He'd see something that might make a nice touch, and just did it - I discovered early on I could just trust him to do things with very little input from us. The deck and mudroom are good examples; basically, they were designed over the phone in a conversation that lasted about 20 minutes. I've lost count of the times I've told him "just do what you think makes sense".

Here I was thinking it was super reinforced to withstand earthquakes, tornadoes, etc /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
