if you haven’t been to Burritt on the mountain…

If you haven’t been to Burritt on the Mountain, why not?  For those that may not be from around here, it’s a historic park/museum/gathering place for weddings, special events, etc.  It’s on top of Monte Sano Mountain with beautiful views of our great city of Huntsville.

Rabbit trail: When I was in elementary school we did a field trip there.  What I remember was the guide telling us a story about a white man and an Native-American woman named Monte who were in love.  Her Dad was asking her to move away or something and the white man was whispering to her from behind a tree, “Monte, say no”.  Hence the name, Monte Sano mountain… I don’t know.

Anyway, picture.

This porch is being built onto the Baron Bluff Building at Burritt.  This is a rare new structure they’re building.  The design is for it to be reminiscent of an old hotel that was on the mountain in the 1800’s and it will be used for special events.

Pearce Construction is building it and the architect is Les Tillery with Fuqua & Partners.

We provided this porch flooring from Aeratis. It’s still a little dusty right now during construction.  I’ll get some more pictures when the job is done.  But, Aeratis is a PVC board for porches that is tongue and groove and great for historic applications.  Three colors, great warranty, blah blah blah.  I’m not the expert but our salesman Alan Hill is, so call him (256-852-7411).

Sorry for all the links in this blog, there’s just lots of cool stuff.  Hey, I warned you in an earlier blog about Huntsville being the coolest city in the world.

See us on the web or come by the store.

    I mean, I understand it absolutely was my replacement for read, however I really thought youd have something fascinating to suggest.
    All I hear is actually a ton of whining about something that you should fix if
    you happen to werent too busy in search of attention.
