I like it. Go with some antiquey wrought iron lamps all over with some inconspicuous background lighting. Are you planning on insulation / heat? Only thing that’s really missing is a twin turbo mustang. ---

Only thing that’s really missing is a twin turbo mustang. I actually have a small wrought iron Chandelier, I should have put it up for the picture. I do want to get some old barn lights or something neat looking. You can see I have already started decorating a bit. 🙂 I think you meant a twin turbo Porsche.😃 > [@91MR2](#): > > Mike, this place looks amazing… Thanks Joe. That black limited edition Lotus would look nice in there. I see it is for sale. 🙂 ---

Thanks guys. The door company spent like $2.5 million on a giant printer! They don’t do custom photos yet. (I would have done Lake Tahoe if I could 🙂 ) That photo is actually Lake Moraine in Banff National Park, I will be going to Banff for my next ski trip.

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Well everyone knows the Canadian Rockies view does not compare to the down town Buffalo skyline view! 😃 Yeah, some really cool view we got here. lol Would be awesome if that company comes out with custom prints. I’ve come across one image showing a nice white water river and its on the steps going upstairs. Different, not sure I’d do it but I like the idea and with a good enough photo I could consider. ![http://s3.amazonaws.com/bncore/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/skyway2-1100x733.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/1/013245dcbeee0d1891f7516b99fd5e052f0c856d.jpeg) ---

It is dirt splashing up. Gutters are next, should take care of 90ish% of the water. - - - Updated - - - > [@Xander](#): > > Nice to see the lift worked out after all that planning. > > X… Or lack of. lol The picture is deceiving too, the door of the RS7 opens all the way believe it or not. ---
