Eye Candy
After that last boring budget post, lets take a look at some fun eye candy.
-
- Anyone who is planning to build their own home can appreciate a humorous to do list.
-
- An Xray shot showing the status of my “virtual build” on Feb 20th
-
- X ray shot showing the status on Feb 26th. I think the only thing I managed to add was the monstrous retaining walls on the North side (shown here in green)… I will put in a separate post about that.
-
- I showed other pics of this Pines Calyx earth shelter, but now I am looking at how the ceiling was tiled…
-
- I got this from blocklayer.com. It shows how to cut the exact stairs I need for my basement.
-
- I got this from Houzz. It is a door with a slider that opens up the little holes so air can go thru it. Very clever.
-
- Storage ideas
-
- These are the costs per 2′ section. My quonset hut is an S type, 40 ft deep, so 20 sections… Not a bad price.
-
- I liked this wood wall. I would like to do something similar for the hall ceiling and the spiral stair shroud.
-
- Gorgeous stone work. Possibly from Houzz.
-
- More gorgeous stone work. I also liked the lighting where the roof meets the walls…
-
- Nice sliding closet
-
- Interesting lighting fixture. The backs of the sticks were routed out and rope lighting installed.
-
- This is a detail showing how the Quad deck spans across the tops of support walls. It allows the concrete to rest on the wall.
-
- I thought this drawer seat was a great idea.
-
- This made me think of Kramer (Sienfeld) and the episode where he wanted to redo his apartment with “levels”.
-
- Crazy stoage
-
- This house put laser cut “Cor ten” panels outside the windows for privacy and shade. The shadows look pretty great.
