With 25+ years in the construction industry, I always enjoyed my passion where it all started, carpentry.

From framing, trim, cabinet building, gift builds, and everything in between, there isn't anything we can do,or have the resources to do!

Going back in time for a memory this Monday of a 20' x 10' master bedroom and bathroom addition, a 12' x 12' covered porch, relocated a basement laundry to the main floor, new windows and doors throughout, exterior vinyl siding, and a full interior remodel. This project turned a 30+ year old home into a brand new home inside and out down to a full foundation waterproofing system, new roof, HVAC system, water heater, and electrical service to give it another 30 years of life and peace of mind for the owner!

Didn't quite finish the roof framing this weekend but we will get it ready for shingles next weekend!

Made some progress Wednesday. We got the roof line cut back, a side wall up with the other laid out and ready to put together. Also got the brick veneer removed at the future walkway into this master suite.

Another cold day and a some more progress on this 24' x 20' addition. Basement walkout walls all sheathed, and gable wall built and stood up.

Just a little chilly this morning framing on this little home addition. Subfloor on, tommorow we will finish sheathing one walkout wall and its onto first floor walls.

Yes, I know, more flashing. Slow progress working solo this weekend. This solarium has more flashing than an exhibitionist convention but will be water tight. A few well placed trim coil nails, and some beads of sealant will be the finishing touch. Kickout flashing is the last bit of flashing to get rolling up on the roof with siding

We came, we saw, we conquered! This one tested us, and after about 4 or 5 different failed attemps, we got it. You see, you can bend metal easily. Its when you have a bent piece of metal and need to follow a radius, standard methods won't get the job done. With 3 layers of flashing starting with liquid flashing, then Zip tape flashing, then the color match metal flashing, leaking along the house will not be an issue anymore. Finishing touch of color match caulking will be applied once all the siding and soffit is installed in this area.

Made a little more progress on the siding today despite winds and colder temps. Working along the pool is slowing progress with one way in and out but once we are out in the open things will go a little faster. A few hurdles with the solarium frame and flashing it for water tightness but we will get it rain tight!

Made some progress on this job today. Homeowner didn't know where the junction box for the whirlpool bath light was. It was buried years ago when the basement was finished. We will make it accessible for the owner and they also wanted to replace and relocate the heater for this area. No problem! Did some air sealing with expanding foam and zip tape as there were many gaps in the exterior foam panels. Put down some Blue barrier liquid flashing along the concrete where it meets the framing for a last line of defense, followed by aluminum flashing and house wrap. Got several courses of siding up and called it a day. Going to hit it hard next weekend!

Getting started on this job where we are removing all existing exterior cedar siding and trim, installing house wrap along with James Hardie siding and trim. This homeowner is throwing in the towel on the war on woodpeckers.
