Wow, it’s been 256 days since I last made a blog entry here. To busy doing projects and getting ready for baby #2 I guess. I’ll show some work I did on the downstairs bathroom in this entry. The goal was to update the bathroom into something that matched the cape cod style of the house more closely.
Let’s see… this bathroom project was started a couple years ago shortly after the holidays. Next is a shot looking into the bathroom from the entrance. There is a ...

I suppose that having lived here for almost 10 years now it isn’t really the Beginning. However. This is a new year and I finally have a New year with a workshop at the house with all of my woodworking tools at hand. The past few years they’ve been in a storage unit downtown (relative term for Lakeport NY).
The house is a ‘starter’ home, in a relatively rural area of NY near Syracuse. We’re in an area which used to be ‘camps’ but now is primarily ...

I build this barn 4 to 5 years ago. I started with 12”x12” tiles added treated 4×4 risers, skids, floor joists, and build the rest on top. I did this knowing that I would some day move the building. That day is today.

The houses made it up the hill. Here is the first one, the playhouse.
The playhouse was given to us by a lady that stopped me walking around in Costco. She was very insistent that I should take her playhouse. The price was right; free. It was sitting on a concrete slab, so we had to jack it up and roll a floor under the house complete with floor joists and skids. This was a whole day operation. We rented a 16000 lb forklift and a flat bed full size truck (the ones hauling machinery around)...

Today is the day we will be moving two buildings (I hope) from our old house to the new house, on the same property.
This is the playhouse; 10’ by 10’. It needs to be moved to the back of the new house. This is the heaviest of the two buildings.
This is the other building. It is our library barn. I build this about 7-8 years ago on skids on wood foundation. This building is 12’ x 16’. This one will go to the front of the new house.
This is ...

I should start off by saying that I’m not affiliated with the company in any way that makes the products in my article. I am, however, a homeowner with a cracked double wide concrete driveway – translates to a big $$ replacement.
I began searching for some repair options. My hope was to hold off any further decay as long as I could. I ended up finding a product called Abocrete. I have a short article posted that explains my repair methods that have worked well for me.
If ...

Ok, so now that the holidays have cooled down a bit, and I’ve got a bit of time to catch up on this, I figured I’d jump back in and document where we’re at…
When we last saw our intrepid home refurber, the kitchen was getting prepped for cabinets and floors… let’s see how it went, shall we?
After ripping up the rotten floors, of course the next step was to re-build them and get it all leveled:
Once I had rebuilt the floor sections, the room...

I would like to introduce myself. As my nickname has discribed I have done a lot to my houses. When I first became a home owner I could hardley do anything, then one day it all changed. I bought a house in west central MN. that was built in 1918. It was a nice house only problem was it had only 2 bedrooms and a 4×4 bathroom. To remedy the bedroom issue we found that the whole second level of the house was an open attick w/ 12 ft pitched roof. so you guessed it this area became a bedroom and f...
