The Entrance


The drywall finishers are working hard to complete what is a "cut up" home. A good drywall job makes for a nice finish and these guys are good! And yes.....the exterior carpenters are still chipping away at the very detailed exterior. The craftsmanship is in the details and these guys are talented.
One of my favorite parts of our homes is the front door and this one is dynamite. This front door is clean and elegant while measuring over 9 feet tall x 9 feet wide, with 60 panes of beveled glass and weighing over 350 lbs. My older brother, Mark DeVol, makes our front doors, his web site is http://www.devolmillwork.com/ . The entire door is Spanish Cedar with a 2 inch thick solid mahogany sill and a solid brass threshold that has a pattent since the 1800's.
