Update: (1/4/09) Final touches currently being undertaken, solid granite flooring, solid Tiger Oak being fitted. Our painter is finishing off all rooms, both newly constructed and exsisting.
This is a partial extension and partial internal re-structuring. With the perfect rural location this family had slightly outgrown their exsisting home, so now have made the necessary alterations, and included some design features to create the home of their dreams.
