An exterior grade of gypsum board was used behind the rock on the outside of the framing system. The soffits consisted of continuous aluminum perforated panels. George related that this, in conjunction with the ridge vents, gives the attic excellent circulation to minimize the build-up of heat and humidity common in the South Texas climate. One interesting feature we used was the galvanized structural angles for lintels to support the rock over doors and windows. A mixture of tile and marble was selected for the floors, except for the guest bedrooms, which are carpeted.
All rooms have crown moldings and many rooms have wallpaper.
The interior work was installed in a very conventional fashion. Built-in cabinets and shelves throughout the home provide ample storage space. All the cabinets were anchored with screws. Granite was chosen for the kitchen counters for its durability and easy upkeep. All of the electrical boxes in the home were upgraded to metal for easier attachment to the framing system.
