Doctor's Orders  (1336 sq ft)

A local retired Doctor was building a getaway place on the lake and enjoyed coming down to the shop to look and see, add some input, and help with some of the details in planning and logistics. This home features a tower room which sits between the garage and main living area. The view from the tower room afforded wonderful views of the lake to the east. This view was almost derailed however, when after the last timber was placed, I was asked if the crane could pick up the whole tower and we cut two feet off of the posts. After a conversation of assuring him that the heights would work out well, and there was no way I was going to cut off two feet of the posts, he reluctantly agreed. Months later, he visited the shop and told me, "I'm sure glad you didn't listen to me and cut those posts."  It's not often that I don't listen to...Doctor's Orders.
