well De,
in all honesty, from the photos I have seen, and one day hope to see in person, I would say the contractor was impressed by the sheer beauty as he should be, and the wonderful work on the property and the homestead and barn you have had built. Its a dream escape and home for a pluarilty of most people. Ya done good and should unashemedly be proud of what you guys have accomplished.
Great job youngun.. (relatively speaking). More ancient folks reside onthis board so I was just trying to make them comfortable..
