While traveling in MAINE last fall Kristal and I spied this house on the coast. You cant tell from the photos but its about 200 yards from the ocean on a rocky beach. I love this house. We couldn't get very close but the fall sunset framed it perfectly. Maybe an OLDE GLORY project will have some of these influences in the future.

819 S Warnock St, philadelphia



Here Is a project that Chris and Myself have just finished up. The project has beed a true study in logistics. From the start it was designated to be built inside of an existing garage that is attached to an occupied by the owners dwelling. In order to keep the existing house dry we had to build up under the roof 2 floors and then plan the removal of said roof with the weather. When the siding was to be started we had to receive permission from all the neighbors who's yards back up to the project along christian st. No easy task considering most of the buildings go right to the property line at a myriad of heights including Isgros bakery and there cooling equipment. All and all I think we took some valuable lessons from this one. This house is for sale,Please check out the MLS.
