Hi Cliff,

Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. You're a very fortunate mn but from what I've come to know of you here, you deserve it. I posted a pic of an Indian and took some of him overlooking the pool. I was going to take the pictures yesterday but there were too many "people" lying out there and you all might not see my carving. LOL.

Oscar, well said as only So Cal resident would. Ah, city living.

Mornin' Cliff, I thought I had one of the best places to carve (front porch and view attached)...until I saw your's. Having been raised down in Louisiana, I really miss the water. You are a very lucky man to have that location.

Geez Paul, if you were going to all that trouble to build the house and the porch, the least you could have done is build a BIG one LOL

Hey Paul, looks pretty darn good to me, sure would love to have a porch that size. You gotta see plenty of wild life from your place as well, heck we have to walk 1/2 a mile to see the deer grazing so it's not all good, but darn close.

Hi Paul,

What a great unobstructed view and such a spacious porch. That's what my sister has in Montana. The problem there is the 3 month summer, too short, and 9 month winter, too long.

Great pictures Cliff and Paul. Nothing like a grand place to park and carve. My wife just says I get wood chips all over the house even though I am suppose to be in the basement. I am waiting for Lynn D. to show us his outdoor carving space. Cliff, it does look nice there up in beautiful country God made. Enjoy.

My wife says that there is a strange attraction between woodcarvers and woodchips. She was telling some friends recently, "No matter where or when Paul has been carving, woodchips follow him home....and plan to stay here." Then as an afterthought she continued, "Of course this is not as bad as when he was running cows and spending a lot of time in the barnyard."

The large front porch was actually incidental to the building of our home. I had told the contractor that I wanted a tin roof and would really like to have it in one pitch.

He did his planning and told me, "I can do the one pitch with not too much additional cost; but there are a couple of drawbacks: First the center ceiling will have to be 16' tall and, second, I will have to put a large porch on the front."

I replied, " Ok 16' is pretty tall; but, ceiling fans should take care of that. How big will the front porch be?"

Eric said, "61' long and 15' wide."

I thought it over (not for long) and said, "Well. OK, I will just have to learn to live with that."

And, my Frien's, I will tell you, I have had to learn to do just that; considering the amount of time I spend out there.
