Charlie's New Home

Charlie has not been in shows for quite a while. The major reason is that he and partner David are building a new home.

We are pleased to receive three pictures of his new home in progress and a report from him:

"Her are three photos of our new home. The first is a view of the front. The second is a view of back and east side. The third is a view of the upstairs ceiling. David manufactured the brackets at the peak of the trusses himself using a plasma metal cutter and helped the contractor with the installation of the trusses. The house is approx 2500 sq ft including the screen porch. The exterior has been designed to be almost maintenance free. The lower walls are stucco. Upper walls are a composition shake shingle made to look like wood but require no maintenance and are guarenteed for 50 years. The roof is metal, also with a fifty year guarentee. There are two dedicated bedrooms and two baths with a multi-purpose great room upstairs. There is also a living, dining and entry room. We hope to have it completed by the end of this year."
