" When did you start the project read about it right around about a week before Christmas actually been about six months right. In six months that -- went there in that -- at an odd kind and although it's a small project it's very labor intensive and it's a very complex architectural design. It was very complicated. But perhaps not an act detected in a fantastic job everything around it -- well it works -- really happily that my primary concerns. As a build out when that this thing has dried it and people going to coming back at that leaks not because it doesn't look right he went and that's very good guys Don and its drive alone. That's good news let's go inside okay. -- the vestibule is really one of the keys of the the design here. Is this this whole space the architect has designed as a transition from the garden into the house itself. By by having you create this this mahogany pergola. Garden structure of the normally you'd find out in the middle -- It's become hot and house now yes and you concede when -- and that's not what -- actually had in mind that this -- flowering designed probably the most complicated things you had built -- myself in my building yet and the doors and that very thin profile that we've managed to get on these mahogany doors right what's happening here than just be out of the way -- back right right up yet. And we've got our limestone columns in place out here in this space. And against the doors that lead into the greenhouse its offer fiberglass that -- right into early switch over to the fiberglass apparently has we have. Very wet area inside the green house yet and of course -- it meant to be at a different temperature -- hear it feel it already out. This is not to go below fifty or tonight that's the idea right not -- Bob -- in the summertime yet not below fifty wintertime.

Heat sink exactly and also of course -- drainage for the space. And is doing it that's right that's -- of this is that it typical certainly the management circulate from the windows open circulate it through. And that house yet. Now this trough over here behind you is for the heating that that the heating element. And we have the proper hand that receives the radiant heat and and it would. We polls that would allow any. Watt that gets him he had -- ruling that he's. Exactly so that in the winter we have to rely that when the solar heating has not enough what are these gadgets on the windows into the safety device. So that that you have to take that screen out -- disconnect that's. That chats with motor out so that the window not operate. In the event that the child they so if there's no safety screen it's an active that's right the trim in here is solved Cyprus right. Cossack with guys that rate would be working that. Especially in a wet area freeway there and I yet. Is that aren't friendly to the same thing with the work. Work benches are terrific they go course the line the perimeter. Following the angles and I like the fact that the wood is kind of just with a natural finish and then. It bus upright against dollars and dark green this is what Carol lamb being right that we've mounted art lighting the lighting and new years. In August in the green house -- night and any complaints that way at night in the dark. This when you want to come -- here these are these state of the art little heads on small profile tracks. --"
