walnut burl front door, foyer panelling

[robtonya]

Nickao, I am glad your son is better. I couldn't imagine having my little one sick like that. Dixon, I think you have done a wonderful job, and if i were to attempt something as grand as that, I probably would of forgot the whole damn light, and switch, or put it on the wrong side of the wall, you would have to go outside to turn it on and off ;D Honestly, great work.

Dixon, who did your sidelights?  Probably the last thing you need is another hobby, but architectural glass like you have shown is easy to make (especially for someone who makes a door!) and can be done at a studio while taking a class.  Attached is a pic of my first stained glass project.

Also, what are your wall treatments?  Is the foyer going to be papered?

Thank you.  The "joinery" was done with pocket screws which seems to be a lot faster than biscuits.

Nice work on the window, Steve.  We gave that work out to a fellow I've been dealing with for thirty years or more.  I didn't have the time to devote to that inasmuch as I had to build vanities for four bathrooms and cherry desks (two) and file cabinets, bookshelves and so on for our office in the new house.  Then, in the middle of the stain grade work, I fell and broke my upper arm (humerus) on the left side (I'm left handed), so I'm out of the cabinet making end of things for a while.  Oh well.

Dixon nothing to worry about. I was just commenting on something someone else brought up that seemed correct to me.

I worry about my son who has bad kidneys and needs daily shots. He was in the hospital for 8 months he is now five and thriving. Don't sweat the small stuff and please don't take anything on these forums the wrong way. I feel I should have not even commented on it now.

For all I know you could have said "Oh my gosh you are right" and changed it so only a single switch was at the door and the rest in the corner. I have been project manager for well over 30 homes and just know that these little things come back to aggravate the home owners , especially when they are spending 500,000.00 and more for a house.

Please accept my apology if I offended you. But please if I ever post anything that seems not quite right bring it to my attention. The guys on this forum have a lot of great ideas. If I do not agree I will say so. But to a lot of my clients a switch like that is not a small thing and many homeowners have balled me out for far, far  less.

I took no offense at your comments, and I hope your boy is well and his prospects are good for a long healthy life.

I am glad you took no offense and little Dominick and his twin sister are eating their Easter candy, playing & having fun.

Thanks,

nickao
