A few last minute objects.

Even after the house is 10' in the air the homeowner refuses to leave.

The First Move

The house begins it journey.1" cable is used to pull the house by means of a winch mounted to a truck. The cable is ran through a pulley mounted to the front caster supporting the house and back to a bulldozer where it can be hooked and dragged.
Stan keeps a close eye on the house as its inched past the garage.

The house is moved through the field located behind its existing location.

The main girder installed on cribbing towers lifts the building off of the existing foundation.
With no weight on the old rubble stone foundation, we are able to excavate and prepare for the new concrete walls.

A cedar Pergola

This Picturesque Pergola was designed and constructed specifically to suit this old New England Colonial.Built at the shop, its was delivered and assembled in less that 8 hours.
The pergola was designed to accommodate a tangle of vines to shade the patio from the hot summer sun.
A satisfied homeowner demanded me to pose for this shot after completion.
ENJOY!

A Balcony With a view

A view of the Berkshires from the new Mahogany deck is a wonderful place to enjoy the morning coffee.
Located off of the master bedroom the half round balcony is a very elegant location.

A Bathroom Remodel

During the spring of 2010 this bathroom addition was Completely remodeled.

Using only the frame of the addition this bathroom was gutted of all its prior entities. New Plumbing, Electrical, Insulation, Trim, Fixtures, and Tiles were all a part of bringing this area to life.

The 4 combined tile layouts on the floors and wall became a time consuming project with a very satisfying finish.

With the finishing touches of paint courtesy of Dario and Hernan the homeowners very pleased with there overall project.

The Shop Under Renovation

Simplistic Elegance

The renovation of a 1796 Colonial bathroom required extensive framing inside the existing walls and floor to accommodate dead loads and adequate insulation.

A 24" wide Eastern White Pine sheathing board is reclaimed to add a simple old charm feeling to the room. The floors, also of reclaimed material removed originally from the ceiling, were sanded and finished to look 200 years old.

A European Shower valve is the center piece of the room truly a beautiful asset.
