A real estate guy contacted me today about a job I did back in the
90's.

He sent me this link to the for-sale website:

It was a good gig. I did the entry stairs and the entry millwork.

Built some columns on the interior, too.

I sure did like doing that sort of work.

Ah! Must be nice to have a cottage in the country.

Beautiful place Tom. It must make you proud to have
had a major role in it

--------------

I especially like that 6-car garage!

Let's see, one for my '97 and one for the '01.

THEN:

One for wood storage.

One for the main shop area.

One for a finish room.

The last for the lawnmower.

Yeah..I'd be like a duck out of water!

Besides, the pool room is kind of narrow.

Looks like a beautiful place, ... except for (IMO) that black marble
bathroom. To each their own, but for my tastes that was oppresive! :-)

WOW!!! I live in Chester County PA and I can tell you with absolute
certainly that not all the houses there look like that. My entire
house and garage would fit into the entry foyer with room to spare.

BTW: Beautiful work Tom.

Absolutely, way too much chance of somebody putting a pool cue through
one of my Van Gogh's.

yeah. It's narrow because it's one of those pools that pushes water
at you while you're swimming - and "endless - something or other".

I was gone before they got that online.

Sounded like a giant hot tub with the jets all pointed one way.

Very nice work and pictures. I'd guess 10 million for PA.

I can imagine. Doing nice work for people who can actually pay for
it and not give you grief about a measly fiver or ten grand
difference? Yeah, nice.

But it's a BFU house, isn't it? The pink and black checkerboarding
gag me, and the size alone is enough to give anyone an inferiority
complex just walking through it. Not homey or comfy at ALL! ('Course,
I'm solidly the "Not So Big House" camp.)

The two areas I liked (but the first'd be too cold) was the whirlpool
bath area and the lovely + interesting Kohler Environmental Chamber.

There's a bit of a story to the fellow who had this house built.

Below you will find some excerpts from the local paper.

That works out to $473,000 per month of incarceration. Not too shabby at
all. Free room and board too.
