What we've been working on lately

Hardly worth mention but we hung a screen door for Brother Donald

  • Hardly worth mention but we hung a screen door for Brother Donald
  • Scraped and painted the railing on this deck overlooking Tenants Harbor
  • New basement stairs for a parsonage in Port Clyde USA
  • Swapped in screen doors to celebrate Spring
  • Garage needed squared away before the house could be sold
  • Replaced Mr J's mailbox
  • Emily wanted the whiteboard replaced and some file cabinets moved. She's also asked for desk risers. MTF.
  • Attic check for Cap'n Gene's realtor who couldn't get up there to show a client
  • Took less than one minute to repair a door that wasn't working right. You really don't need that sort of negativity in your life.
  • Quick and dirty Christmas window display shelf for the Brothers, photo showing the cuts around the trim.
  • Quick and dirty Christmas display shelf for Brother Kenneth, as seem from the sidewalk.
  • Securing Gene's wooden gutter
  • New hatch to keep people out of the crawlspace at Renee's

  • I forgot to take a photo when we were done do this is Brother Donald's.
  • Worked out alright, although the rolling floor made leveling the new top a bit of a a challenge.
  • Brother Kenneth wanted an accordion door, and, against my strenuous objections, he got one.
  • We replaced the shelves and cleats and painted the interior of this inset bookshelf in Thomaston.

Richard and Penny's new apartment house

I have such fun sometimes.

  • I have such fun sometimes.
  • The enlarged bathroom seem from the other side.
  • The design brief is to move this door to the opposite end of the room
  • Here's the new French doors and sidelights replacing the old ones (trim, of course, to follow)
  • So this wall needed to be removed
  • And framed to receive the French doors
  • This is the old French doors, having been moved to the new location (trim to follow)
  • This is the old French doors as viewed from inside the sun room. They need trim and I'll have to put clapboards back in at left.
  • This'll look a lot better with paint.
  • The old French doors are trimmed in.
  • Lousy lighting and needs paint but you can see the new clapboards and trim on the Summer porch side.
  • This floor had been painted.
  • This red oak floor was covered entirely with aggressive and black foam pushing
  • This is how the front room floor looked before sanding, with the adhesive and foam padding.
  • The idea was to tear out this closet wall to enlarge the bathroom on the other side. Turned out to be a false wall with another wall behind it.
  • With the false wall removed you could see where the backstairs had been.
  • There was also a false floor supporting the staircase, under which there was a hole
  • Hard to see through the doorway but the closet wall is gone.
  • Sink, bathtub, toilet, and half-wall are gone.

Renee's

Most recently at Renee's we reduced the height of the middle reception desk.

  • Most recently at Renee's we reduced the height of the middle reception desk.
  • Not only did we shorten the desk surround but we also leveled it, which turned out to be more than half the labor.
  • The idea here was to improve on the existing desks by joining them in pairs to create double-sized desks.
  • It's starting to work out, and the new desks are level, to boot.

  • Along the way we found a spot without stain, which we figured we could improve on.
