Hi Don!

Well, here we are. It's July 2, 1999 and we've been in for almost a week now. It took a little longer than expected but it has been well worth the wait. We woke up our first morning in the house, our twelfth wedding anniversary, looked around and thought, "Wow! This is cool!"

It was about a year and a half ago that we went to an open house at your place in North Stonington. We had been looking on and off at houses for about 8 months but nothing seemed right, and in order for us to make a move, we needed to walk into a place and say, "This is it, this [is] what we want." So we went to your home, not quite knowing what to expect, but as soon as we walked through the door we realized that was what we wanted to build.

The house has really turned out to be everything we expected, both inside and out. It has a truly classic look about it and fits the lot beautifully. Every time we come down the driveway there is a feeling of tremendous pride knowing this is our home. The inside is open, warm, and very functional. The timber framing is elegant in its apparent simplicity and the house has such a solid feel to it. We have received nothing but compliments from friends and neighbors who say they love the style, the openness, and the rustic feel. The framing, the floors, the masonry, the tile, everything - works beautifully together.

Throughout the entire process, from the first set of drawings on, you were genuinely enthusiastic about the project, very willing to work with us and listen to us, and you were honest and very fair with us. Everybody knows an undertaking of this nature is not going to be without its moments of angst. But any issues that did arise were addressed and resolved to our satisfaction and the bottom line is you have a happy customer! Also, your guys and your subs were always helpful and courteous to us (I don't know what they said about us after we left but they were always nice to our faces, which is all that mattered!).

In all seriousness, while building a house is both emotional and stressful it is also supposed to be fun and exciting, and it was. As corny as it may sound you are in the business of building dreams, and we are very happy where we are starting a new chapter in our lives. Our thanks to everyone involved for a job well done.

Our Best Regards,
