Kevin, what is the module of your house? the FLW Erdman prefab is 4'x4'. I am guessing yours is less.

I'm very glad you posted these recent pictures, Kevin. The house and grounds are looking wonderful! And, the landscaping has matured beautifully since my wife and I had the pleasure to visit w/ you some years back. Congratulations on all you have done - and, will continue to do!

Your photos are greatly welcomed. I too enjoy the lamps. It seems like the cat has the best seat in the house. Congratulations on the ongoing projects, keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing your pictures...the house is looking great, the dusk photo is a favorite, a lantern in the night.
