These are really great pics Joe.
Didn't know you were playing a gibson :

You must have been tinkering with wood for a while to do that level of work.

Here's a link to the pics of our home that we moved into last year. We moved in too late in the fall to do much landscaping. That's next on my honey do...

I have few more pics. I'll see if I can find them and update the photobucket site with them...

Great house Ken,
Build with lameply and wood cover ? How do you heat the house when temps are getting below 40 F ?

This is how we do it in France ( extension build recently, left side of pic ) :

Thanks Ron,

No I don't play, that's Mike's, a really good friend of mine. Mike and I used to build thing together and since construction is down he needed to sell that guitar. I got the shot for a keep sake.

I love French Architecture.

.....and since construction is down he needed to sell that guitar.

Now that' s really a pity. The Les Paul's are brilliant guitars, especially those from before 1982.

Here's mine ( well not a gibson, but an European version of it ) :

I love the house but why did you start with a fully built one and then demolish it?

Thanks Ron. The first layer is called OSB. Basically 4'x8' sheets of compressed wood chips. Then the siding is referred to as hardie plank. It a cement based product that will not or decay like conventional wood products. As far as heating we have a heat pump that is supposed to be the most efficient means to heat down to the 30-40s Below that a gas back up kicks in.

So do you have Home Depot in France

We're having odd April weather this morning. Snow flurries this morning with temps in the low 30's this morning and tomorrow morning. Then wed it's supposed to shoot back up into the 70s

Is it stucco over a wood framing?

I thought Obama was supposed to fix all of this -

Heads down America! You pass the bullets Ken and Col will fire'em.

For you maybe, for us it was the saintly Alex Salmond. He may have messed it all up, but at least it's a beautiful f* up

Not down here, glorious sunshine all day

We have sunshine, we just like to keep it in a safe place, behind the clouds

The first layer is called OSB.......

Yep, I know that material. I built a sound studio recently and added lameply ( water resistant OSB) on the floor.
See attached.

I'm living here permanently. Moved from the Netherlands to France, approx. 10 months ago.

Is it stucco over a wood framing?

No , the house is build with bricks with stucco over it.

Lumber is less expensive in the US, We build our homes mostly with wood frames and veneers.
