Wow, congrats. I am surprised it took this long to get in this magazine, you see in my eyes your houses are so well known, and the greatest, that I would of thought they’d get ahold of you. I love this magazine, I got it for year way back.

When you find out more of the details, I want to know what monthly issue it is coming out in because I want to go to the library to read what they/you say about your houses. I will end out going through the whole magazine since I haven’t read an issue for some time now.

Thanks for sharing this with the group.

John, That’s awesome!
I met the guys over at Canadian Woodworker at a media event in Milwaukee. I spoke to them about doing an article on you but they said they already had written one. I’ll keep searching for other press options for your spectacular houses.
