They had to pour concrete to make the basement floor, and he then gathered more materials out of the trees surrounding the property. White oak was used to create new floor joists, while split cedar shakes were used as shingles. The whole vision was woven together when they added a rustic-looking front porch. The use of wood from that area made the house blend in with the surrounding. The project was looking more and more special with each passing day.
