Re: 1870 CT house-works in progress
I love the color on your floors. Of course, I'm not biased. Coincidentally, we used "Espresso" on the floors for our (in-progress) remodeling project. See the "Retriever Ridge" thread over in Intros. Haha thanks so much! I went to the post to see and unfortunately those two pictures of the floors a...

Re: Retriever Ridge
SWMBO wanted a gas fireplace in the owner's suite. Being able to start/stop a fire with a touch of a button has its appeal. We have the wood burner in the great room and will have something near the pool when we do that work this summer. The cost of an outdoor fireplace is hard to justify, so we're ...

Lots happening since my last update.

Re: Are Forums a dying thing?
My excuses are myriad...I was busy with work (as are many of us), I cared for elderly parents (many of us care for parents or children), money was tight (oh yeah, I'm not the only one!), or time was short (yeah, yeah...I see everyone rolling their eyes). I wasn't working on the house, so my forum a...

Re: Retriever Ridge
The framers had an easy time of it because it was engineered off site and came as a "kit".

Re: Retriever Ridge
The perspective of the photo is a little deceiving. The dome is pretty much in the center of the room which puts it roughly at the foot of the bed. So not a lot of additional thought went into choosing the location. The reason for a dome was to get enough ceiling height to be able to use the chandel...
