Hi All,
I am getting very close to being finished.As you can see we have decided to move in early as the snow was coming. I have a drawer to build that goes under the heater area and will hold about three 40 pound bags of wood pellets. The top ended up being 2.5 ” thick and supports the pellet stove fine.The kitchen is looking better after installing the appliances and should look even better after I get the cabinet doors built and installedMore pics to come as I get a chance to do mor...

My little project on a poor boys budget is moving right along day by day, bit by bit, it is getting there.This has been a fun project from the time we decided to transform the shop. Tomorrow I start on the tile flooring and hopefully it goes as smooth as the counter top. Thanks for viewing my project, any comments welcome.

I’m posting as I have a free 20 minutes to compile these, so my timeline is a bit scattered… I’m well into other stuff, but I’m trying to make sure I get the big stuff documented here, so I’m really like a week or so ahead in the project, this was last weekend’s adventure.
My two biggest “projects” inside this giant project…. are the painting/wall prep and re-doing the kitchen.
The kitchen was by far the nastiest room in the house...

A couple of months ago I brought an antique china cabinet upstairs from my basement. It was old, rickety, and definitely musty. The china cabinet had been my Mom & Dad’s and is around 50 years old. My Mom says that it was just a cheap thing that they had purchased long ago. I’ve carried it with me from home to home for the past 25 years and it had ended up “tossed” in the basement. Today, it is a wonderful piece that I am proud to have in my hom...

So, I mentioned I’d be starting a bunch of new projects soon… Well, I heard today that our mortgage is going through! Yes, even despite the current “Credit Crisis” it looks like we’ve gotten ours through, which was the last hurdle.
The new house is on 1/3 of an acre, it’s about 1500 Sq. Feet. Here’s the front:
It needs a TON of work. the last two owners both lost the house to foreclosure, (you’d think that the first bank that had to for...

Last week, some door to door sales guys came by pitching replacement windows. I thought “this ought to be fun”, and scheduled an appointment. Surprisingly, they seemed to have a darned good deal, 6 Anlin windows, including a monster picture window, for $3200 installed. Poking around gave us a fairly good impression of Anlin windows relative to various other premium vinyl windows (ie: Milgard, etc), but as we dug further we started to think that vinyl wasn’t a look we liked.

Yesterday I ripped the boards down to 4” wide, the widest I felt that I could reasonably get out of the lumber, and started to mill it into shape. Charlene and I ran it through the planer to take a whisker off and bring it down to 5/8”, cut a 3/8” diameter quarter round on the top in two passes, the first left to right to take off most of the stock, the final cut was a climb cut so I could end up with a smoother surface.
Then we started sanding, 320 grit with the sand...
