Water Features At Parque Eduardo Ruiz

If you are dreaming up plans for a water feature... 

An Adobe Dome Building

Our friends Bill and Barbara up in El Rito, in the northern part 

of New Mexico, took advantage of the Adobe Construction Program 

put on by Northern New Mexico College (NNMC) a few years ago

 and had the class build a small adobe dome building on their property

 for the price of supplying the foundation and the adobe bricks.

 Such a deal.

Insulated Concrete Forms

Our friend Susie let us tag along when she went to check out

 insulated concrete forms at a job site in Santa Fe, N.M.

 She was interested in using Faswall Wall Forms 

and had gotten permission from local contractor Doug McDowel 

to let us visit his building site where he was using Faswall.

Andrew's Windows

If you are planning on designing or building windows 

our friend Andrew has built several that offer an array of ideas.

Thorncrown Chapel, Eureka Springs, Ark.

Before we leave the Eureka Springs, Arkansas area I want to include

 the Thorncrown Chapel which is on the edge of town.

The website has a nice virtual tour.

Spring St., Eureka Springs, Ark.- Buildings, Gardens, And Springs

Whenever we are driving across the country and we have enough time

 for a detour we try to stop at Eureka Springs, Arkansas

 And once there the place to be is Spring Street.
