Here is the finished product! Lets go back and see what it looked like before the new curb, and during the tear off of the old skylight. After getting the old skylight off and removing all the caulk, silicone,

Turning a bedroom into a closet is easy...just cut a big hole in the wall like this! Too easy.  Actually it was quite messy and time consuming.  Used a sawzall and a lot of blades.  The

Had to crack the whip on my flooring installers.  They have left these bags of scrap wood on my porch for over a week now, and it’s time for them to clean up. You never want to anger a contractor,

White oak, hardwood flooring is nearly complete!  This has been a large job, and gone on for a couple months now.  This hallway is the last section that needs to be done. It is is a good feeling
