Shop Stuff


This isn't my house. I mentioned on the home page how tasty the original woodwork was in these houses and how the previous owners of mine inexplicably ditched it all. This is the dining room in my neighbors' house. It's hard to believe that a hundred years ago this was how formula homes were built. You wouldn't find woodwork like this in a modern house costing seven figures.

Originally, I wanted to replicate this without the dark stain but as I got into the project I decided to be a little more creative and a bit more practical.

The Cabinets

Labor Day weekend, 2002 was a rain-out so I holed up in the shop.

I'm constructing the two built-in china cabinets for the dining room. One will be a media cabinet and the other a display cabinet.

Kitchen and Extension





I decided to approach the kitchen renovation and replacement of the rear extension as one project. Both were in such bad shape that it made no sense to build new on to old.
