thank you rodman rat. one of these days i gotta take a puter scourse and learn how to do that. again, thank you so very much. and thank you gang, sanded more beams today, 3 left to do. they will hang in the main area of the house (great room, dining and kitchen area). there will be 3 upside down T's if you understand what i mean. we are told we have 5 more weeks and we can move in. hahaha, i told lisa that we weren't going to know what to do with all that room,lmao. right now we are dodging each other getting back and forth in the camper, hahahaha. we'll lose each other in the new digs. hhhmmmmm, maybe that is what she is wanting? hahaahhahahahahaha.
by the way the front poarch is 8 by 25 feet, back poarch is 10 by 62 feet, vaulted ceiling in the great room and kitchen,dining room. all that area is open. master bedroom and bath is to the left of the front door, 3 bedrroms (one will be my office) and another bath is to the right of the front door. again, i can't tell ya'll how impressed i am with the quality of the work done by my friend chris youngblood, dwayne,lance, fernando,armando,erick, juan, tony and his son. there are others that i don't know there names cause they were gone when i got home from work. these guys are great people. thank you BOB SMITH for introducing lisa and i to them at the first get together. great friends are hard to come by. and these are just a few i have met through this site. so thank you KEVIN for having such a fantastic site. it has truly helped me and lisa in our lives.

Remember Bama not to "cut any corners" so to speak, in trying to speed up the move in date.
I am very happy for the two of you, you deserve it! ~Mark |

thanks mark. no.........not a single corner is being cut. these guys of chris's are VERY picky about their work. lol, theystarted the railings around the poarches right? wellllll, lisa wanted the top rail lower so that when she sat in a chair she could see with out having to raise up out of her chair. they really didn't want to lower the top rail cause it violated the general code. but after we had 5 people tell them that there wasn't a code in our area (county), they lowered the railings. only lowered it 5 inches. you really can't tell by looking at it.

just a bump to say that we are now about to paint. inside first,lol. that way we can possibly move in while we paint the outside. all the sheetrock is finished and ready for the color. lisa is gonna take more pics she said. i will try to post them. can't really tell anything about the outside cause of no paint. but things are going so good, like a swiss watch.
i have to say this again. the builder; CHRIS YOUNGBLOOD and his partner DEWAYNE. are two of the BEST PEOPLE i have EVER been associated with. these guys are just fantastic. if anyone is in my area or near cartersville ga, and want to build a house. i challenge you to find a better contractor. i mean this. lisa and i are so thankful for chris and his partner that we can't find the words to describe in mere words. we will most likely be moved in within 3 weeks now. now that is not a long time to build a house which is 1984 square feet. thank you bob smith again for bringing chris to the first get together, we never would have met chris if not for you bud. and to top it off chris is gonna take me fishing with him in his rig on weiss and teach me how to fish weiss lake. how in the world can i EVER repay him? i mean it gang. this guy is that great. some of you know that i tend to get emotional, but i can't help it when things like this happens ya know. i ain't scared to say it, i love this guy. he is one of the reasons i have such hope for the world. if more people acted the way chris has acted and treated lisa and i, the world would be a fantastic place. so CHRIS AND DEWAYNE, if we can ever get you two to join the site. you will be able to tell how much lisa and i appreciate you guys. we can't wait to move into our new wonderful home. and we brag about it to everyone we talk to. and remember gang, if YOU want a quality built home, call me and i will get you in touch with chris and dewayne. you won't be dissapointed.

When Chris gets you in that Skeeter get ready for the pucker factor to kick in. That Series II Yammy 250 will fly! Chris is a pretty good angler on Weiss so he'll get you on some fish too.

Hold on, hold on... I thought you were building it? With your own bare hands? From timber cleared from the lot and only shaped with handtools?
