Meet Skelly, our new foreman. 💀🔨

He’s been on the job approximately 14 minutes and already looks like construction has aged him.

No lunch breaks.
No complaints.
Doesn’t argue with the subs.
And when we told him we needed this house finished by the deadline, he said, “Over my dead body.”

We may have finally found our guy. 😂

Welcome to Rivers Edge, Skelly.
We work our people to the bone around here. 💀🏠

Welcome to Athens.. ⏰

There are certain days in life you never forget.

You remember your wedding day. The births of your children. The milestones and celebrations that become markers in your life. You remember where you were, who you were with, and sometimes even the smallest details.

And then there are days we remember for very different reasons.

September 11, 2001 is one of those days.

I still remember where I was when I first heard the news on the radio. I remember going home and being glued to the television for the rest of the day, trying to comprehend what we were watching unfold.

Twenty-five years later, the emotion is still there.

Every year it seems there is another documentary, another interview, another story that somehow hasn’t been told before. And every year, I learn the name of another person who ran toward danger instead of away from it. Another firefighter. Another police officer. Another EMT or medical professional. Another member of our military. Another ordinary person who, in an unimaginable moment, did something extraordinary.

Maybe that is part of why this day hits especially close to home for us at Rivers Edge.

So many of the families we have had the privilege of building for are firefighters, law enforcement officers, active-duty military members and veterans, EMTs, nurses, medical professionals and other first responders. We know them not just by their uniforms or titles, but as husbands and wives, moms and dads, neighbors and friends.

September 11 reminds us of what people in those professions are willing to do when the unthinkable happens.

It also reminds us of something I hope we never lose—the way Americans came together afterward. For a moment, the things that divided us seemed much smaller than the things we shared.

Some moments change the world forever.

This was one of them.

Today we remember the 2,977 lives lost. We remember the families whose lives changed forever. We honor the heroes who answered the call that day and those whose service and sacrifice continued long after the cameras were gone.

And we remember exactly where we were.

I imagine many of you can still picture that moment, too. Where were you when you first heard what was happening on September 11, 2001? What do you remember most about that day?

🇺🇸 9.11.01
Never forgotten.

Early mornings on the jobsite ☕️

We met first thing this morning to get some clarity on a special detail for our client. Sometimes the best way to make sure everyone is on the same page is to just meet at the house and work it out together.

I left home before coffee, and I’m quite certain even my socks don’t match. 😂

But some days, you just roll with it.

Coffee in hand. Details getting worked out. Another day of building custom homes. ❤️

EXPEDITION OUTPOST 🤎 BUILT FOR THE ADVENTURES BEHIND THE TROPHIES

From the beginning, Expedition Outpost was designed to be much more than a two-story garage. It was created as a place to showcase a lifetime of adventures and the unique and treasured mounts collected by our clients through their wild game hunts.

Because several of these animals are substantial in size, this build started with a completely custom design. We considered what would ultimately be displayed inside and designed the wall heights and dramatic vault to make sure there was a place for each and every mount. The result is an impressive space that gives the collection the room it deserves.

Long before the walls went up, Hampton Land Management provided the sitework and engineered building pad, giving us the proper foundation for the structure and setting the stage for the construction to follow.

Architecturally, it was important that the new structure looked like it had always belonged with the existing residence. One of our biggest challenges was matching a brick that is no longer in production. A big thank you to John Lovelace with Acme Brick, who helped us find an incredibly close substitute. The match is nearly identical, and we were thrilled to pull off the look to our clients’ satisfaction.

Inside, we kept the finishes warm and neutral so they wouldn’t compete with the colors and textures of the mounts. Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige pairs beautifully with COREtec Cairo Oak flooring. We also incorporated plenty of recessed lighting throughout the upper level to help showcase the collection.

To keep the upstairs comfortable year-round, we used foam insulation along with a ducted mini-split system. It gives the space efficient heating and cooling while keeping the mechanical elements discreet.

The lower garage level features an amazing epoxy floor sourced by the client, and it turned out beautifully.

One of our favorite finishing touches is the pool table light featuring a wilderness scene. It is definitely a showstopper and couldn’t be more fitting for Expedition Outpost.

We are so pleased with how this project turned out and even more pleased that we were able to bring our clients’ vision for this unique space to life.

For now, we’re sharing photos from the beginning of construction through completion. In just a couple of weeks, once all of the mounts are in place and everything is finished, we’ll share the final video of Expedition Outpost.

We can’t wait for you to see it. 🦌
