Brock Builders framing house in Biltmore Forest

My friend Chris Brock is a custom home builder in Asheville, NC. I recently put a web site together for his company, Brock Builders, Inc. They are working on a monster of a house in Biltmore Forest. It’s over 11K square feet with tons of details. I got some pics at the job site this afternoon. The gothic-revival-revival styling may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think anyone can appreciate the art of the framing in this domed ceiling. Or should it be called a vault?

Asheville skateboard camp 2008

Skateboard camp. Where boys become men. Old, broken, scarred men. But the pain is worth the thrill. The feeling of movement on a skateboard is magical. My son Mars just finished a week at skate camp here in Asheville, NC and according to him it was worth every penny. Of course, these weren’t his pennies on the line, but no matter. It’s about progression, at any age, and Mars met his goal for the week by dropping for the first time at the park. I owe that boy a t-shirt.
