Kitchen #1: A little this.. a little that...

393 days ago by MsDebbieP | 33 comments »

Feb 11, 2009 (Note: no pictures available) It’s been a few years that I have held back from moving stuff around in the kitchen. I’ve waited patiently until I just couldn’t wait any longer! The “before” is irrelevant, other than saying that the “before” annoyed me. So Monday, I moved the upright freezer out into the porch, removed the shelving units that surrounded my chimney (which has fake red brick on the surface and I love the look). Ri...

Howdy

708 days ago by tenontim | 17 comments »

Well, like some many of the LumberJocks, I’ve moved over here to kill a couple of more hours a day. I’m in the process of building my own house. Been working on it for over two years. Pay as I go. Of course, the furniture making gets in the way, but the LOML has put that on hold for at least 6 months, which should be time to get things finished up. Been living in the upstairs of my shop, so it’s time to get ‘er done, so I can have more shop space. I’ll keep you...

Exterior Fix-its #2: Storm Door's Installed

500 days ago by Scott Hildenbrand | 16 comments »

Finally got to doing more with the front door this weekend and got the storm door installed. It’s a really nice Pella 8500 Roll Screen in Cranberry with Oil Rubbed Bronze hardware. The day before the install I patched the rotted sections of the door jamb, which I’d dug out much earlier to solid wood.. I used the fiberglass resin + sawdust method, followed by autobody filler. It worked GREAT and is as solid as a patch that ever was. Plus I never have to worry about it rotting ou...

707 days ago by MsDebbieP | 16 comments »

April 4, 2008 Here is an aerial view of my property from ). Somewhere in the house I have a picture of the house prior to our renovations. Originally the house was “one room” deep. We pretty much doubled the size by adding a living room and bathroom downstairs, 2 bedrooms upstairs and the basement area which is now our woodworking shop.

My Home #1: My Goals

722 days ago by MsDebbieP | 14 comments »

March, 2008 For the past few months I have been slowly changing the look of my home. My original goal was to create a rustic look for my home filled with antiques from my family and with things that I had made myself. Since that time, I’ve started going on monthly road trips with my sister-in-law hitting local antique stores. I have also grabbed some paint and made some changes here and there. The paint doesn’t quite fit the rustic antique look and so my “style” ...

New house building project #6: Little progress on the hall closet

465 days ago by PaBull | 13 comments »

I was hoping to finish this closet over the Thanksgiving weekend, but as you can see, I did not get it done. Part is the inset doors and the mortised hinges, this all takes a lot of work to get it to fit just right. The Hinges were a little sloppy, which does not bother too much on taller doors, but on the upper doors, where the height is less than 24” it was a pain to get it to fit right. On this cabinet I did not make the doors my self, I bought them from http://decore....
