Hi - Some good advise has been given - but depending on the size of the home you have in mind to build, I would be very concerned about a 9 month schedule in North Carolina. Many factors will come into play that will cause delays. If you are getti...

Mike and Susan Hedden replied to Deidre Taft's discussion 'Vented or Ventless Gas Fireplace?'

Hi, I see you have made your decision, but one area not mentioned is the slight oder from the ventless. Having been in several homes with the ventless systems, I can always detect a slight odor. Vendors say they are oderless but I dont agree.

Mike and Susan Hedden commented on Mike and Susan Hedden's photo 'Deck 4'

Hi, Thank you. We had the fireplaces included as part of the blueprints - one inside (gas) and one outside (wood burning). They are back to back with separate flue and chimney which resulted in a commanding chimney on the roof. Our contractor coor...

What an awesome outdoor fireplace. We are looking at adding one to our blueprints. What kind of building code issues did you have if any? Or did build it in time after your home was already completed?

With the network of people he works with, he may be able to save us some money on our overall project, as well. He didn't see a problem building the home we want on our lot & within our budget range. He's now working on a detailed estimate and should be getting back to us within the next couple of weeks. Thanks, again for the referral!!!

At 8:35pm on September 16, 2008, Mike and Susan Hedden said…: Hi folks - well were able to empty alot of the boxes but ran out of time before we had to come back to Florida. Thought we would send some pictures of the finished areas as they are now. Will have window treatments installed on next trip up.

The contractor is working on the few remaining punch list items and has just about everything fixed. There are still some boxes in the basement, so will send pictures of that area and the other rooms we are working on after they are empty of the clutter. It was a very busy 2 weeks - plan on going back in October to try to finish up the unpacking.

Sure was nice and cool at night - elevation is about 4100 feet - temperature inside never got over 75 degrees during the day - did not need the air conditioning.

Sending pictures of the great room, kitchen, dining, deck, 'School Room' and 'Bear Room' and some outside views of the cabin. Fall flowers are in bloom and some of the trees are beginning to turn a bit early this year.

Congratulations on arriving at the "Box stage"!!! I cannot wait to see pictures - you all obviosly have fantatic taste! Our deadline has come and gone without completion, however we are looking at maybe early October for our very own box stage! Just in time for the holidays! Keep us all posted! Anne

Basically, the carpenter just boxed in between the beam to cover the pipe. It would have been better not to have the box, but with the plumbing placement there was not any other alternative.

Could you please send again. Always looking for ideas on how to actually box the pipe in. Thanks, Ken
Your house is beautiful!

At 8:11pm on August 5, 2008, Anne said…: First, let me say that your home looks gorgeous. In late May, you indicated you were 80% complete with the hopes of a July completion. I am wondering if you all met that deadline. Our construction schedule is very close to yours and we were hoping for a late August completion, however, we are a little behind. Please keep posting pictures; the unique touches (doors, beams, stonework on hearth and bar...) are awesome. I hope you all are settled in and enjoying the final product!
