I’m in commercial construction and this brings back good memories. Working on a wood framed house again. Good quality pictures you took. Can’t wait to see more. Thanks!

Very nice setting and some house.

stunning work. I’ve done rock before, and my rock work didn’t look anything near as good as your wall. Great story also, I look forward to the whole blog on the project. That photo of the house by the lake is a “book” quality photo for sure. I’m impressed.

Sometimes us lumberjocks just have to build a big box! Nice work Todd. I’m looking forward to the rest of the story.

I would live in that house. I can’t wait to hear more about this project. Great job Todd.

You just keep raising the bar. Great pictures, what kind of camera do you have?

I am using a Samsung V700 Digimax. It is rated at 7 megapixels, that is only on the highest quality setting. But even on the lowest quality setting, the picture file sizes were originally too big to install on the site. It is just a little point and shoot style camera, but I liked that it had manual settings for me to manipulate the photos. It also had about the widest angle lens for me to take interior shots.

Sounds like a nice camera… and here I was all happy with my recent jump from 2 to 5 Megapixels.

I spent a few years in the darkroom (former life now, it seems). I could tell that either you knew your way around the camera, and/or Photoshop.

That place is awesome! I’ve seen some of the work you did inside as well. Fantastic! I am in awe of your work and envious of the clients!

you do it all

This Lumberjock site has aquired some real high class craftsmen. I think you’re one of the best.

I’ll give you a 10+

He isn’t that good… I give him a 10

is that a 10 plus, a 10 pl…. or a straight 10?
I’m going for the full plus!

Maybe we should give Todd a show on LJTV called – “This New House”.

Wonderful work.

How about 10 + 10 :)

That certainly looks more than a two-man job. How many worked on it? and what was the time frame for construction? what a job!

-- Dan

Amazing! How long did it take to build

-- JAnderson: Columbus, OH

On a scale of 1-10…..I’d give it an Eleven. Mostly because of the great landscaping job to finish it off. The rock work is just short of unbelievable. Fantastic seems like not quite enough. Great job Todd!!!
