I recently opened up an entry wall in Hyde Park. It made the living room much bigger.

I made this deck using treated wood in the Hype Park area in Chicago.
Its 14 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
Used treated pine lumber.
It's gonna be used as a stage for a band to play on.

I'm very proud of these custom shelves I did in a home in lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. I was on a budget and used some material I normally wouldn't. (1/2" sheathing material for the cabinet walls and drawer bottoms) I also left the wood bare instead of staining or painting them. Either way it looks and fuctions great. Something I'm a bit jealous of for not having in my home home. These drawers are 46 inches long and are between 6" and 14" deep. I added a sliding door in front of the drawer faces to have a "hidden compartment" look.

What do you think?

I haven't uploaded or posted up on here for years. I'm honestly not active as much on here as I am facing the reality of life. I've come to terms that reality is now part virtual and electronically connected. So I'll be posting up pictures of my projects in progress, tools, and other fun stuff for you to feast your eyes. Comments, questions and critiques are welcomed and expected.
Is there anything in particular you'd like me up upload?

I did some commercial work in Lake Zurich last week.
It was in a massage parlor:

The parlor had a total of 12 rooms.
8 of the 12 rooms needed these corner cabinets and floating shelves installed.
I installed them in each room.
Took about 4 hours total for all these cabinets and shelves to go up. Good thing i had my little cart to haul all my levels, drivers, screws, and all my other tools that i needed to get the job done from room to room. The place was filled with electricians, plaster guys, drywall guy and painters all trying to get the job done before labor day. it was an interesting 2 days of work, got to meet lots of people and make connections for future work.

I did some commercial work in Lake Zurich last week.
It was in a massage parlor:

The Parlor had a total of 12 rooms. 4 of the 12 rooms needed these cabinets installed. I installed both base and upper cabinets in each room. They are pretty cool. They have a nice light preinstalled on the bottom of the upper cabinet that turns on via sensor so no need for a switch.

I did some commercial work in Lake Zurich last week.
It was in a massage parlor:
This is their display case. I'm guessing to display soaps, oils, whatever massage parlors sell. Each of the six came disassembled, so i put them together, then fixed them all together and anchored it to the wall. later added shelves and the lit display on top. looks quite nice i think
