Great Ceiling Feature

Well, the weather is warming up. The flowers are starting to bloom (maybe not in my yard yet, but somewhere) and we are working on a house in Nashville that has a great ceiling going in it. If you are building a new home or thinking about remodeling, this video will give you something to contemplate.

The Groin Vaulted ceiling has been around for hundreds of years and doesn't get much attention these days, but Broderick Builders is remodeling a gorgeous home that has one.

The title link will give you the Wikipedia entry for Groin Vault and is very informational.

Remember, give me your feedback or questions about remodeling and construction.

ArcusStone--New Products Overview

In today's remodeling market there are so many new products and processes that it's often hard to weed through them all. Well, I have stumbled onto a fairly new product and I think you're going to like it.

The company is ArcusStone and they provide decorative limestone coatings that are much lighter and less expensive than traditional limestone. It gives you a very elegant look inside or outside and it won't blow up you remodeling budget.
