    Stunning beauty. Some actual craft and connection to the terroir, as opposed to a pop-out, stucco-sprayed cat box with granite and SS appliances. The Weir Brothers would approve!

    Love this blog, BTW. Nice balance.

    Seems like it’s fairly easy to secure a building permit in northern new mexico. I wonder how sandstone works with significant earthquakes? Also, how’s the heavy rain and flooding management around those parts? Can water seep into the sandstone?
    So many questions…

    I can’t wait until the return of the NINJA loans so that I can buy one of these at a 120% LTV!!!!

    kidding aside…..very awesome work.

    He’s gonna have to scrape all those surfaces clean so the building inspector can look at the work.
