The Roanoker - November/December 2020 - 84
ABOVE:
A large butcher block
island painted a coastal green
separates the kitchen from
the living room.
"It was in horrible condition," he says, "so it took
a lot of work."
The land stretches along Craig Creek and was
the site of a neglected 1880s cabin. "It had been left
exposed to the elements and was destroyed by weather,
wood-boring insects and plant life," he says.
Dollman removed that cabin and a spring house
to make room for his new getaway. He did leave an
old stone wall that runs along the creek and used the
limestone slab that was the cabin's entry step as the
landing at the bottom of his deck stairs.
"The sound of the creek will put you to sleep,"
says Chris Duncan, a project manager for Dollman
Construction. "It was hard working out here some days
with the soothing sound."
Dollman capitalized on the creek when designing
his home, which he says, changed gears half-a-dozen
times as they went. "I'm my own worst client," he says.
But that's not why it took over two years to build.
"It was important to me that the house be finished
without a mortgage," he says, "so part of the timeline
was the result of paying for materials as I went." Plus,
he only worked on the home on weekends and days off.
