Took a break from traveling to build this for the daughter

Gail and I took a break for a little over a year from traveling to build a hair salon for the daughter. This is a 1958 home that was in really bad shape converted into a high end hair salon. We hope to get back on the road very soon. Hope you enjoy the pictures. We stayed on site in our 5er while completing the project.

    LOL, Good! I did my brick wall with joint compound. I haven't sealed it though. After seeing yours, I probably should.

    That is stunning! You are awesome parents. And I thought it was great when my in-laws spent two weeks with us helping us get a house framed.

    How did you do the brick wall?

    Beautiful, Wow doesn't even touch it. Any beautician would love that salon to work in. Your daughter is a very lucky girl to have a father like you.
