Been busy working on home improvement stuff, and haven’t had a chance to do any wood working (it’s also still been pretty cold here), so I thought I’d share some of the work I’ve been doing.
First up was our bathroom, which needed a new shower fixture. The old one was extremely old, and I couldn’t find replacement parts to fix a valve stem issue, so I decided to upgrade. The first problem I ran into was the fact that the wall was way thicker than I thought, ...

Ok so I’m working on getting a new french door built, I got 2 free wood 1 light doors that I was going to make a new french door out of going to the porch/covered deck on the back of the house. Reason being was the old door was a 4 ft door and we wanted a 6 foot door…anyway I decided to cut most of the wall out in that area and just rebuild it back…but when I cut the wall out it looked so good that I called Slim to come up to look at it and she had the idea of adding it as...

So I have been working on this project for a couple weeks already but I figured I’d catch you all up to speed.
Here are the facts:
1. I live in a condo in Gilbert, Arizona.2. The condo is about 30 yrs old.3. There is an enclosed porch on each unit and most of them need some work…
At first I decided that I would just replace the parts that I thought were the worst off. I had hoped that I would be able to make it work with as little effort and $$ as possible. Plans cha...

Emphasis on “Starting.” If you would have told me how many obstacles there were going to be, well, I’d probably say I could have avoided many of them. I would have been wrong.
The siding is up minus a few trims & fixings. While waiting for the ceiling insulation to arrive, I went ahead and insulated and drywalled the exterior walls. I’ve got a few minor details remaining on the wiring as well as exhaust roof vents to install. The drain plumbing is 75% done with ...

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do much work on the dining room all summer 2009. We had a bad Ice Storm that left me with 12 trees down and hundreds of limbs. So, much of the summer and fall were spent dealing with yard cleanup and firewood splitting.
Oh yeah, and while we were at it, we figured we might as well give the master bedroom and office a cosmetic makeover. So, we ripped out the last bits of wall to wall carpet, gave the ceiling and walls a fresh coat of paint, and then ...

Once I closed in new exterior wall, I framed in the old porch floor area to bring it up flush with the interior floors. From there, taking down the old wall was pretty easy; just had lots of electrical to re-route.
Framing in the new wall to divide the space into a Foyer and Dining Room
Onto the drywall! Pretty straightforward at this point. I pulled new electrical into the basement for outlets, ceiling lights, wall sconces, 3 way switches, outdoor lights…lots of ne...
