Typical Clients



A sample of what our typical clients are looking for these days:


A few things we want in the house...

1) This will be a gathering place for many people so we will need a minimum of a four-car (SUV) garage.
2) We would like a secret passage in the house. Preferably one that
is accessed by moving a candle holder that causes a bookcase to swirl around.
3) We want a large portrait with eyes that slide away so we can stand
behind it and spy on people.
4) A bell tower.

5) A bomb shelter.

6) Gold leaf - everywhere.

7) An elaborate fountain in the center of the house with peeing cherubs.
