Finally finished!


Here are the guys that designed and built our house. Steve Martin and Mike Parker, our builders, are on the left and center. Kevin Reed, our architect, is on the right.


View of the front of the house.  Notice all of the rocks.  


The front entrance.  


One of the neighbors wandering by.  This is a bobcat.


The view out of the great room windows from the hall in front of the entryway.  .


Turning around, here is the front entrance.  The door is actually fiberglass.


The entrance from another angle.  This shows the tile flooring that is in the halls, entrance, dining room, bathrooms, utility room and kitchen.  Notice the knotty alder door on the entry closet.

The dining room which is next to the entrance.


Fireplace and the great room.  The ceiling is aspen with fir beams.  There is a wood pellet stove in the fireplace.  The stone is actually man made engineered stone with natural flagstone on the horizontal surfaces.  This is the same stone that is on the exterior of the house.  The floor is a maple laminate - which wears better than wood and is better for the environment.


Turning around, here is the view from right in front of the fireplace.  Through the doorway is the kitchen on the left and breakfast nook to the right.


Breakfast nook.


We have a finished kitchen.  It was amazing to see how this space seemed to grow larger as the project progressed.  The counter tops are Silestone, a man made quartz product.  The cabinets are maple.


Other side of the kitchen.  The chair is in front of a small desk.  


The final view of the bathtub.


Master bathroom.  The vanities and sinks are Corian.


The mini-master bedroom.  


Here is the back concrete deck.  We went with a wire railing to minimize impacts to the view.  These are the La Plata mountains of Colorado..


The view down canyon from the deck.  Farmington New Mexico is just over the ridge in the distance.


Since minimizing the energy use and carbon footprint of the house was important to us, we had the house tested for air tightness using a blower door test.  Here is Mike Frisoni, the energy consultant in the area..
