No, It's Not Art....But It IS Craftsmanship

I've shared some of my daughter-in-law's sketches and really appreciate all the encouraging words shared. She wants everyone to know that she also appreciates it very much.

I've also mentioned from time-to-time that I do home remodeling and maintenance. I have a huge supply of photos of my work. My most recent project is shown in the short movie link that follows:

Deck Project - Brief Movie

Overall size is 12 feet by 28 feet.

Nice work Dyre Straits ........ what an improvement

Last summer we converted a sunroom at my singers house(He's a carpenter) into our new studio room.
It took 4 weekends and was a complete overhall .. roof and all.

Never thought to record the progress as you did .. cool idea

Thanks!

I've been taking Before, During, and After shots of my work for several years. It's something I got into a habit of doing very early on. It's really nice now to have digital cameras that save a LOT of money on the process.

I've done basement completions, total kitchen and bathroom remodels, deck enclosures (as well as building decks like this one) and much, much more.

I stay very busy and don't need to pay for any advertising.....all my work comes via recommendations from previous or current clients.

I'd be very happy to post a few 'snapshots' of other work if anyone's really interested. I have one remodel from not long ago that is the difference between day and night. It's a living room that had only a fireplace on the exterior wall and I built custom bookcases and cabinets from corner-to-corner on that wall. That included a small entertainment center for a pull-out/swivel TV shelf.
