Proof!

That good things come to grunts!

Well, some grunts

And, well, some of the time!

Hope you and your platoon find real happiness there!

The house is nice but it's just a thing. If you can't find happiness anywhere, then you are never truly happy.

I might disagree slightly....
We went from a 1600 to a 3100 sq ft house with a family of 6 (4 girls) and the daily bickering deminished substancially. Everyone just needed a little breathing room. It got even quieter when 3 left for college. lol

Happiness can also be found in dry socks, and a woobie.

Everything is looking great! What is the reasoning for the raised floor behind the bar area?

So women can stand on the high side and be eye to eye with their men!

Or... Because we decided we wanted a sink in the bar instead of against the wall *after* the concrete was poured... So one day off I improvised! VOILA!

How many tubs do you have? Great stuff but you need a doorless walk in for the master (no pictures, Nate got me today on that)

TexasRedNeck · « **Reply #276 on:** February 12, 2016, 02:28:55 AM »

Looks good HC. I just was hanging with a buddy of mine and I learned somethings.

He has a 60 inch TV, a mini fridge and a keurig machine in his bathroom. I'm doing something wrong.

That's just like a bar by a sewage treatment plant................ ???

Higher Caliber · « **Reply #279 on:** February 12, 2016, 07:16:04 AM »

4 tubs and three showers. We were going to go the doorless route in the master but I talked momma in to *at least* a glass door. We have a "service" area wet bar that runs between the master and the office. Within is a sink, mini fridge, cabinets, soon to be coffee maker... Etc... I wanted to mount a TV across from the toilet in the toilet closet but I was overruled. :(

Kinda reminded me of "the thing" from Addams Family. Some of you may not be old enough to remember the original, but maybe saw the remake?

I loved the Adams Family. Even the remakes were pretty good.

No insult to Fred or Ted as they look good and played a role entertaining us all.

Kerry, looks like that without makeup and has his own form of entertainment that is hazardous to our health.
