Although the calendar says Spring is around the corner, Central Oregon weather is still very unpredictable.  Last month we shared a couple of ways to beat the chill.  This month we'll share a way to prevent damage to your home from freezing temperatures, as well as local gardening tips.  We're also showcasing a home we recently completed in Bend and pictures of a Log House we renovated.
 
 
Contemporary Home - New Addition to our Portfolio
 
This 3700 square foot home, accented with pine and maple wood, clean lines, and open floor plan was designed for the owner's personal style - simple, yet elegant.  The living room has modern angles in the ceiling and overlooks an expansive deck.

The official first day of spring is only weeks away.  While we can't expect spring to go out like a lamb in the Midwest and East, the Farmer's Almanac for the Pacific Northwest calls for mild weather for spring 2010.  
 
So, if we happen to get a cold, wet snap, and you need to know how to thaw or prevent frozen downspouts and ice dams, you can link to this article on eHow.com.

However, if you are confident enough to start your spring garden anytime soon, a good source for gardening in Central Oregon is from our own Oregon State University Extension program for Master Gardners at Central Oregon Community College. You can find news, articles, calendars, tips and more for local gardening from this link.

Originally built in the mid 1900's, this log home was renovated and expanded to the owner's delight in 2009 by Hansmann & Sons Construction.  This outdoor picture captures the serenity and harmony of the majestic setting at dusk.  The kitchen shown below is a combination of rustic elegance and charm.
 
 Let us help you create your dream home.
