I just installed the first cabinets for the kitchen in Delaware.
Old Picture. You can see my Greene and Greene Thorsten table that was entered in a LumberJock challenge.
New picture.
The counter top is from the old cabinet. i plan to put down Corian. I’m doing it myself so I’ll do some fill-in first until I get the shop emptied a little.
I built one upper cabinet and one lower cabinet. A lot of other wood has been cut and the pieces needing veneer have been mostly ...

Well I was working on building the deck and I kept saying. Take some pictures. But, it didn’t get done. These pictures are from before putting on the deck surface.
The deck is placed just outside a small deck that goes between the screened porch and the Solarium. We have a spa in the Solarium room.
The deck is basically 16’ X 16’. It’s 14 feet to the beginning of the curved edge. One end is tapered to match the sidewalk that goes around the house.
I’...

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...

I’ve recently finished one half of the 21’ subfloor I’m building. I’m out of joists, so I’ll need to buy more before continuing. In the meantime, I figured I would go ahead and lay paneling where I could as the leveled joists over the concrete floor are making it increasingly more difficult to walk. I tacked down a few rows of insulation and already have the vapor barrier purchased and ready to go. As soon as I can get out to the store, I’ll be purchasi...

In just a few weeks, we’ll have a new baby girl to bring into our shrinking home. In just a few weeks, I hope to have added a recreation / office room to our house to compensate. I’m using my two-car garage and cutting it half such that a car would not fit within its depth. The outer half will be my workshop while the inner half will be a playroom. My task is not, on the surface, too difficult save for the fact that I’ve never done this kind of work before and I’m ...

Well, it has been a while and slowly but surely I have gotten a few more things accomplished. I was able to install, grout and seal the tile backsplash above the counters. I had to stop just past the sink because the wall is not plumb, (gotta love these old houses) so the contractor will be fixing that in Nov for us and then I will be able to finish that portion of the remodel.
I have primed the wood trim; which will fit in the space btwn the backsplash tiles the wall and bottom of the...

Well.. Figured I’d hung out over at GardenTenders enough and thought I’d get to actually posting about the homestead.
I’ve got quite a few projects to take care of outside the home, well, besides the garden. To start off I thought I’d tackle replacing the rot around the front door and fixing the water issue.
It seems somewhere along the lines the prior owners decided to have aluminum installed over all the exterior trim. I despise this practice for several reason...
