My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      That door is spectacular. Did you use blackened steel here? This entry is quiet, yet stunning. Fantastic design.

      I made that door cladding of .045 " naval bronze, hand hammered for the texture, with a patina to highlight the surface contrasts. Thanks for your comment. Doug @ The Tinman LLC.

      My husband and I are drooling over this door. Tinman, your artistry is jaw dropping.

      thanks for your kind comments - the inspiration for that door is what is really jaw-dropping - the white bronze (former) facade of the american folk art museum. www.cdc-usa.com/portfolio/museum-american-folk-art dtinman.com
