Welcome to the new Home "Lumberjocks" site
Hi all. I am glad to see Martin has added a new site to the collection. I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s postings and projects.
Cape Cod in Portland #2: Pre-Project Tour
Here’s a little tour of the place as purchased, before any projects were started. I think most of these were taken before we actually signed any paperwork. Some other family members were along for the ride to keep our heads on straight. We purchased the home in March 2005. The first two pictures are from the street showing the front and a view down the street. The street is all cape cod style homes from the 40’s. After entering the front door, the fireplace really stoo...
Hello fellow LJ'ers and Home Refurbers
Just thought I’d throw my name into the growing list of Lumber Jocks making the transition into Home Refurbers. Martin, this is a great idea. I’ll try to get my house projects brought over here from LJ as well as post some of the others that I didn’t feel fit on LJ very well. Welcome to all.
Privacy Fence
Thanks to this: We had to install this: Like the deck I posted before, this is all cheap treated wood. My backyard isn’t huge but it’s big enough that the more exotic fencing was out of our price range. The important thing was to keep the dogs in our backyard which it thankfully does. This summer we may put on a stain/pretector on it to make it look nicer. We hope to put our house up for sale within a year or two so that’ll probably help.
Building My Workshop #1: Winter 2008
Hello everyone.I have been so busy with my gardens since spring that I didn’t take the time to post here.Now that all the fall stuff is done and I have time on my hands here goes.I moved into this home last Nov. 30.It was the first snow storm of the year which lasted for the whole winter.(lol) So I needed a workshop to spend those cold days doing something.There was just a big empy space in the center of the basement with a rec room on one side.So I started to build a workshop.The firs...
Ramblin' #1: Just got here and who do I see???
Well, I signed up as soon as I heard. It looks like the gang is gathering. Now that we have two sites and some of us three, who is going to go to the shop and get some work done? Lumber Jocks is coming at me so fast an furious that I can’t even begin to keep up and now we add another. Maybe I’ll just retire and become a professional blogger. Anyway, Martin, I’m sure this site will be as exciting and usefull as Lumber Jocks. Glad it’s up and running. Let the games begin...
Finally Finishing my Cabinets!
Just in time for the launch of HomeRefurbers, I finished hanging my kitchen cabinets at about midnight last night. After a minor disaster with creating the styles and rails on my router table (which I blogged about here), I am back on track and they are all in place. I got so anxious that I hung them before staining them, which I think I will finish this weekend (they need a little sanding too). When I do I’ll be sure to post photos in the “project” section. So stay tuned...
This will be good!
Hi there to everyone! For those of you that are on LJ then you might have seen me around the sight. This is going to be a really good spot for a lot of people. Wish I would have had this four years ago when we first bought this rehab house that we currently live in and are still working on. But anyhow I would like to welcome everyone to this site and hope to see lots of great projects and such.

Halloween Challenge with Lee Valley #3: Announcement
Hi all you Refurbers, we know that you must be very busy with your home renovations. Renovating can take up a lot of time, for this reason we had only two entries in the Haloween Challenge. We discussed the small turnout with our two contestants and with our sponsor Lee Valley and decided it would be best to call it a day on this one. We would like to thank out contestants for their entries and would also like to thank Lee Valley for sponsoring the event. Keep an eye out for our winter Awa...
