Greg,

I would like to commend you on an excellent product. I curious why not a bigger deck on the back off the kitchen. I will mean so many steps down to entertain out back.. The firepit is great, but if I was to have a large gathering probably need a larger deck to entertain that beautiful sunset just off the kitchen. Let's party on the deck and celebrate the mathew sunset.. I can vision you and I doing that....

Next suggestion, leave the steps going upstairs exposed to the room on the right . What are your thoughts..

Great Job....

I want to thank the diy network for allowing me to be a involved in the 2011 Blog Cabin.. I know the project in Mathews will be a great success and make a great home for someone, I only wish it could be me. It is such a perfect place.. If you are in love with a small town living and the serene nature of mathews, very few stop lights (None within 15-20 miles) and a sunset any old sailor would die for this is it.....
