My House Punchlist #1: The Beginning

24 hours ago by NedB | 4 comments »

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 ...

Building a porch. #1: Building a porch with my own SketchUp plan

234 days ago by Dick, & Barb Cain | 6 comments »

I’ve been really busy trying to learn SketchUp. My Son needs a new front porch on his home. I decided this would be a good way to learn SketchUp. His old concrete steps have been gradually leaning, & it makes the whole house seem crooked. He said if he sits on a step, he feels like he’s going to fall off. This was quite an experience for me, because I’ve used a T-square, & triangles for so long. This project took me an awfully long time, but I learn...

What kind of home can you build with 25 million? Here's a peek

273 days ago by grovemadman | 4 comments »

I worked on this home for a grocery magnet and entrepenuer. I did the glass showers, seven of them! The work had to be perfect! I’ll update more of my work in the project section to show some of the details involved up close. But for now I just wanted to give you an Idea of how extreme craftsmanship can get. All of the guys on this general contractors crew were the very best I’ve ever seen. every attention to detail was painstakingly worked. There isn’t one joint in this hom...
