    Is that your house? I hate you.

    Seriously, very , very nice work. That stairway is one of my favorite physical objects on this planet.

    If any of you have possible managed to miss the original Gamble House entry stairs, check out www.ultimatebungalow.com or any other Gamble House site. Steve's placement of this classic is truly wonderful. Well done.

    I just took a tour of the Gamble House at the WIA Conference in Pasadena. Except for the patina of age, which will come, you have absolutely NAILED the spirit of the Greens (without any nails!). AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.

    You are not Devoid of talent . Very very impressive! I'm curious did you keep track of your time on this one or was it truly a labor of love and who cares what it takes? What is the finish?
