Couple of house picts. One from the back and one from the front. The one with the old man up in the rafters is the front. Picts look a little gloomy cause wet overcast day....Kirk

Awesome home sir - you are to be commended on a veeery cool looking house. You'd never in a million years get me on a roof pitch that steep - I'd take a week crawling down the face.

The walls weren't formed with 'slip-form' construction details, right? The exposed rock faces would be covered with much more concrete. Where did you find all of that river rock - it was very well mixed and composed. The stack bond brick window / door jambs really frame your building openings. Very distinctive.

Okay, now submit this to ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST. I'd sau you have a shot.

All slip form J.R. I wire 2 pieces of plywood together with a 12 inch space between. Pack in the concrete re-bar and lay rock against the outside board. Next day I clean the rock joints then move the forms higher. The walls are really fun but the roof is the hard part for me. I hate working in high places!! I clip a rope to my belt so that way I won't hit the ground but just slowly starve to death dangling from the rafters!!!! Ha! Ha!

The digest wouldn't like my house tho. I sort of skipped the part about having plans drawn up. One nice thing about slow rock building is you have plenty of time to figure out where to put things. ....Kirk
