Well – the weather in Up-State NY has been very cold lately. We have had a considerable amount of snow. Just to make it fun, we had a few warm days a while back, and even some freezing rain mix. I went to put on my jacket Monday morning, and I spotted water dripping down the wall in our living room! We have a two story Cape….. not a good sign!
Yup – ice dam on the front of the house. Water backep up, found it’s way into the soffit, and into the frame of the win...

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.

Yesterday we finally started to move, last night was the first night in the new house. We have a long way to go to have all our stuff up the hill in the new house, and the house needs still a lot of detailing and fixing. We have only cold water by the kitchen sink; the is no yard jet; the garage is filling up with all kind of to-do and fix-it stuff. But we moved.

I just installed the first cabinets for the kitchen in Delaware.
Old Picture. You can see my Greene and Greene Thorsten table that was entered in a LumberJock challenge.
New picture.
The counter top is from the old cabinet. i plan to put down Corian. I’m doing it myself so I’ll do some fill-in first until I get the shop emptied a little.
I built one upper cabinet and one lower cabinet. A lot of other wood has been cut and the pieces needing veneer have been mostly ...

Well is was a good day for working outside. A little cloudy, a little sunny, a few drizzles, but nothing to make it unbearable.
I failed to take pictures of the straight bench being made, but, here it is.
The seat is 14 1/2” wide (4 – 1X4’s) The straight bench was designed as 5’ long, but then trimmed to final fitting. So it’s a little longer as sitting here. The legs are 2X4’s 17” long with a 3” rail at top and bottom with 1 1/2”...

Well I was working on building the deck and I kept saying. Take some pictures. But, it didn’t get done. These pictures are from before putting on the deck surface.
The deck is placed just outside a small deck that goes between the screened porch and the Solarium. We have a spa in the Solarium room.
The deck is basically 16’ X 16’. It’s 14 feet to the beginning of the curved edge. One end is tapered to match the sidewalk that goes around the house.
I’...
