Three Glorious Days On The River

Getting ready to put on the river for the next couple nights, wish there where more water, but you take what you can get. An old friend of Scott's from Texas is here, so it's gonna be abig boy and  big  fun trip, Matt is so disapointed he's not coming.  But, we have another trip planned for next weekend with my dad, so he'll definately be on that one if we get some rain. For some reason, I am burnt out at the house and just need to let loose, get away, recharge. River is so low we may end up dragging most of the way, but who cares, 3 days on the river is heaven. The rock masons are finishing the interior fireplace today, and it looks great. I am trying to get this new notebook to load pics, but no luck so far, too bad becouse alot of stuff has been done. Everyone have a great weekend, and if your lucky, SYOTR now!!

Correction to earlier post

correction; the law school at university of Arkansas is not named after Bill Clinton. It is the Bill Clinton school of public service. And for the record, I am glad he was not thrown out of office, I was not making a political statement, just an analogy. Anyway sorry for getting off track, I just had to vent. As soon as I can figure how to load pics on this new xoom, I will post a bunch of pics, wild azailias and rock work. Going on 3 day float trip friday with old friend of Scott's friday. Yehaw

Frustrations Set in on Blog and House

The rock masons are rocking and rolling along, and it looks fantastic. All of the columns are complete and the outdoor fireplace as well, they are working on the interior fireplace today. The rock completes the look, and compliments everything so well. My choice was to go with a rock that looked more local, but Robyn has great taste and I am so glad I trusted her judgement becouse it looks perfect. Next on the schedule is the hardwood floors and interior woodwork, so I need to find my groove. I have really been discombobulated lately and to tell the truth, have been very unproductive. If you read the heading on this blog, it mentions frustrations, and I guess that's where I'm at. Speaking of Robyn's tastes, the colors for the paint she chose are awesome and create the mood of the house. I admit it, she coordinates all the paints, flooring, and wood finishes so much better than I do, even though there are no stains on any of the woodwork , the differant woods we are using are all very distictive looks and actually will darken with aging. Walnut and cherry floors
, walnut window sills, cherry paneling in the awesome roocherry window and door trim, cherry door jambs, and solid one piece walnut stair treads. Not one piece of trim or woodwork will have come from a lumber yard, it's a truly custom house that has been milled as much as built. It will be very interesting to see what the appraiser values it at becouse there are not many like it. well,
