Very nice Bruce. Is that an addition over on the left? Seems like a very stately manor, until I look over there. (Not meant as a comment on the photograph, rather the house itself :-)

Bill,

I agree about the distraction in the photo of the backend addition on the house. Here's a cropped and cloned version which eliminates that problem.

I really wasn't trying to get you to do that, but it does look much nicer :-)

That's one cool looking house (I like your modified version). The chimney itself is proof that it's a gem.

I agree, architecture seems to be your forte.
