This project was a little challenging as the patio is out of level and not flat, the old steps where uneven and only three steps to get into the back door. The home owner is getting older so I made the new custom steps to be wider and to have 4 steps to get into the back door . Plus cut each stair stringer to fit the uneven patio, and still keep them level . Also the new steps are made with pvc decking and white pvc trim boards. I think this project turned out pretty well

I have a client who was looking for a vent hood cover to match their existing kitchen cabinets. The odd part of the project while it was a simple uood cover is that the blower was installed already. I designed and built this blower hood cover not only to match the cabinet style and color, but also the doors are hinged to have access to the electric plug and to have access to the vent fan . I also made a plate groove on the shelf in front of the doors so decorations will stay in place. I think this hood cover adds the finishing touch to this kitchen . I enjoyed hand crafting this project.

We just designed and built this custom mantle and wainscot wall . The wainscot wall is 18’ tall . I built the wall with solid paint grade 1x4 styles and rails . To give the wall a real custom wainscot panel look I used 1/4” plywood for the center panels . The mantle is made from solid poplar . I used a combination of stock moulding and some hand made moulding to give the room a real custom look . To finish off the room the home owner had me install this new tapestry in the center panel . I love doing the projects that I can be creative .

I made the Crawford ceiling with 4 5/8” crown molding and the beams are made out of 3/4” mdf primed and painted. I also hung the chandelier and 2 spot lights for art work. The two double hung and half round windows are also part of this project, I feel it adds a lot more light into the room.
