Here while back I posted a picture of a Neighbor Ranchers new house, the one that is 10,000 square feet. Well this evenin, he invited us up to the house, it's not quite finished, but he's hopin to move in, in a couple weeks.
I asked if I could take a few pictures. Even tho it's huge, and way more than I'd ever care to have in a house, the man did some really neat things in there.
This is his front door, I just love the Texas stars.
This is the dinin room/ ball room, and yes that's a pipe organ you see on the back wall. The floors throughout the house are all made of either hog pecan, white oak, or black walnut, this one in the dinin room is a patchwork of all three woods, all of which were trees that were cut on his property, alot of the woodwork throughout the house is also wood that came from his place, the star above the front door is part of that wood. I really was impressed with the work that was done on this home, and how it was put together, and that it actually "means" something. Some things were recycled from older homes that are in various places on his properties, from old plank sidin that was reused in the breakfast nook on the walls, all of it, was really really neat.
Ok this is a close up of the floor in that dinin room, it's not finished yet, they are still sanding on it, but it won't be stained, just a clear finish. Awsome wood.
