I don't know where to begin. The surface textures are incredibly realistic especially the cast metal effect. Very fun to look at!

This is about the only way I know how to make something ugly into something beautiful. That is just fantastic workmanship and artistry.

Scratch that. I found your previously posted video. I still don't know how you guys pull off that kind of work! On a different note, how come everyone's houses look so much cleaner than mine?! And Louis, you could always do another video. I don't think anyone would mind! :clap:

Cheers,
Eric.
