This just in from Juan Carlos..Thank you so much Juan!
Dear Sharon:
Congratulations on your two cottages I have been researching to build a house of my own with my own two hands and stumbled upon your two cottages. I think they are wonderfull and I absolutely love the pictures with snow. My ideas for building are keep it simple, keep it clean and yours serves as a nice example of what I want. I really liked the shape of the outside of yours but I am thinking that I might need to re accomodate the interior for my needs.
Also it is amazing how much the garage changed after you worked on it!!! Impressive. On the two bed cottage I really liked the living room, it is simple, cozy and warm. Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you and thank you for sharing.
My very best wishes to you and your family this 2010.
Juan Carlos
P.S: I should go visit your area someday although I am not that used to the cold!
