Our masons use a custom templated brace to hold each piece steady while they lay the curve. Once it’s all in place, we pull the brace and let physics take over: the compression between the bricks does the heavy lifting. No fancy extras, just centuries-old technique executed perfectly. #BrickArches #MasonryCraft #CustomHomeBuild #BehindTheBuild #LegendKurtCrail ...

Day 7 with Steel Team 6 — watching the crew set steel on the new faith-based school we’re building in Herrick, Illinois.

There’s something pretty cool about seeing the beams going up.. Herrick’s getting something special here. Grateful to be part of it.

🌽 Out in the middle of a cornfield, walking the lot with our client to figure out exactly where his future home is gonna sit.

The big question today: how close do we want the house to the pond without it feeling like we’re living on top of it? We talked views, water levels, driveway elevations, drainage… all of it.

I love these early site visits. No fancy equipment yet, just boots on the ground, measuring, and talking through what actually matters to the guy who’s gonna live here every day.

Pond views are killer… but so is staying high and dry when the spring rains hit.

Would you put the house right up on the water for the view, or pull it back a bit for that peaceful separation?
