The Hood River Waterfront Park is a welcome addition to the community. The park is located along the Oregon bank of the Columbia River. There are walking paths, benches, a sandy beach and swimming area, picnic shelters, restrooms, grassy areas and play equipment. My grandchildren love to visit this park. There is a climbing wall, spinning equipment, a large wooden xylophone and things for drumming on. If you have some kids who need to burn off energy, this is a good place to bring them.  When the kite sailors are on the river it's a fun and colorful sight to watch. Sometimes my husband and I take our lunch and go sit at the park to watch all the activity going on. The gorge and river scenery is beautiful as well.              

Thanks Molly, Good to know, we have personally used this program in the last 2 homes we've built. 

We are completing the cultured stone on the tapered column of the newest house we've built.  We used Owens Corning Cultured Stone Country Ledgestone for this application. The color is called Bucks County. There is more stonework in the house; the interior part of the tapered column and the wall behind the woodstove. The chimney on the roof will be faced in cultured stone as well. 

This house is located in Hood River's East Stonegate neighborhood. It is 2180 sq ft with 3 bdrms, 2.5 baths, office, all oak, slate and tile floors, natural gas forced air and a wood stove for heat, tankless gas hot water, clear cedar shingle siding and many special artistic features.  It is listed for $475,000.
