This kitchen was white. A little dated but still had some appeal. It all began with the dishwasher needing new dish grates. It turned out these were not available any more - so we decided to replace it (the dishwasher). This involved removing ceramic tiling and reconstructing the Island. Which in turn led to purchasing new cabnetry and so on and...

This is a deck we built a couple years after moving in. The deck the house came with was way to small so this extension was much needed. It wasn't too difficult. Preparing the foundation and putting in the concrete posts that the deck sits on was probably the hardest part. Then joists were spanned across the posts and thats what the 1x8" boards ...

This pond is actually making use of an old pool that was .... let's just say, past it's usefull life.

This is a bar my dad and I built back in the summer of 2005. We used old cabinet modules and restained the fronts. All the plumbing and electrical was also done by us. The mirror was an old one that used to be in the master bedroom. The counter tops were done by someone else. They are granite tiles bought for about $7 a square foot.

Here is just the set up of my hot tub. This hot tub was purchase at arctic spas and the slabs used around the tub were bought from Van Beeks if I recall correctly for about $10 a slab. Overall installation of the tub was easy. The only prep required was that the floor was level. This was accomplished by ripping up the grass and putting gravel on...

Our neighbor was renovating their kitchen and they decided to throw out their stove top so I decided to use it to make an outside stove top next to a BBQ that we just bought. Both are connected to the natural gas line and make cooking outside easy. The frame for the built-in BBQ was built when the deck was built many years ago but the original B...

Hard to find a work bench that fulfills your specific requirements. So I decided to build my own. Its a multipurpose bench that utilizes a computer table and work bench into one unit. Required one 4x8 piece of plywood with oak surface. This piece covered the top and one side panel. One smaller piece of plywood panel was purchased for second side...

Here is our chimney we redid last summer. The top of it started to crack due to a moisture problem. We selected these light colored stones to replace the old ones and had a contractor come and do the job.
