My first undermount sink with concrete countertops. Actually, it's my second. The first effort dried too dry and shattered when I pulled it out of the form.

Here's a picture of the marquis during construction and after. The after pic doesn't do this justice. It's a real presence in the basement.

i know you made me happy...

highly skilled and very creative...

an unusual combination...

color me a very satisfied customer... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

That's phenomenal, Phil.


I know this: If Sal and I ever move to KC, you'll have a client for life.

Great work.

Thanks guys - that's very high praise. FWIW, I created this thread originally because I was taking pictures to close the deal for the basement you see pictured today. You can see I employed the concrete counter design and mosiac wrapped poles just as in my own home. I really wish I had the time and money to do mine like I did theirs.

Damn...I'm jealous. If I ever 1) move to KC, 2) own a home, and 3) need some remodel work done, I won't hesitate to give you a call!

Heh. You guys haven't even seen the good pictures yet. There's a big TV hanging on the wall off to the right of the bar. The one across from the bar is only a 40". This is a true man-cave.

Great job (as usual)! It's really a shame you don't live here in ABQ.

I have a great Arts and Crafts home. My current problem is I'm looking at demoing my POS garage and putting in a two story garage with an office on the second floor. My problem is I want it to look right with my house.

Here a link to the garage plans I'm looking at and I've attached a pic of my house. Do you think the two would look good together or not. The garage would be 30 feet or so away from the house.

you keep getting better, other than selling faux and murals..;)

I know a guy...hard worker, looking for part time work..can I give him your number?


I just completed a five foot Jayhawk, and a four foot NFL logo...I love doing rooms for kids...they so appreciate it...

Awesome. Anythin gfor the Allen bar?

I need to get up to your pad soon.

Sure, give the guy my number. I just hired a guy last week and just told my foreman I wasn't hiring again for a while but I'll always talk to somebody. I might get a job tomorrow I need help on.

There's two things popping out to me. Your house has a hip roof throughout. The garage is a gabled roof which is important for the finished office upstairs. It will probably be alright but it's something to be aware of. Are you considering a breezeway attaching the house to the garage?

The second thing is the posts. Make sure they design the garage posts to match the house or the garage will catch your eye from the street. You don't want your garage to have more curb appeal than your house.

No, I was too late...I've got to get down there and check it out..

This guy could use the leg up...I'll have him give you a call..he's starting his own busuness..but every litle bit sure helps...I'll let him know...

thanks dude, appreciate it.

Oh no. I'm a sucker for those people. Heh. I'll probably hire him but it kinda depends on my next few projects. I've been turning over people pretty regularly. Some people don't want to work. Believe it or not, I just have people who stop showing up. Crazy industry.

that isn't this guy...thank you man...
