Since leaving baseball, Kelly has started his own building company, Kelly Wunsch Homes. On Friday, we went on a tour of the job site of his latest project. We were hoping to see the concrete slab get poured, but the threat of rain cancelled it. Here’s Kelly showing us where the different rooms in the house will be:
The neighborhood is called Tarrytown, and it’s just west of Austin. It’s leafy, upscale and eclectic — in that there are a variety of styles of homes, but they all seem to go together quite well. Here a home next door to Kelly’s project:
Here’s the back deck of that home. I took it because I love that kind of wire-and-post fencing:

Kelly’s business is focusing on green building — the way of the future, especially in Austin. He’s got a great eye for the big picture, but for the little details, too, picking out everything from the stone for the island to the hardware on the sink.

Kelly took us on a tour of the homes he’d already completed, too. I’m sorry I didn’t take photos of those — I don’t know what I was thinking! But you can see this latest project on his website here — and I think he’ll be putting up more photos, soon.
