A small house, 2000 sq ft, that I designed in Fairhope, Alabama, on Mobile Bay is in it's final stages of finish. Had a great client, an attorney, fine contractor and exceptionally talented finish carpenter/cabinetmaker who can make about anything and do it beautifully.
I went out to his shop recently to discuss some stained glass windows he is making ans discovered he bought and rebuilt motorcycles as a hobby....
