CEDAR/CYPRESS BOARD & BATTEN SIDING

Above are the photos of new siding being installed. This is Board & Batten cedar and cypress wood with an oil stain. The trim (also cedar and cypress) is painted in a white paint.
This turned out beautifully!

CROWN, BASE, TRIPLE CROWN ON VAULTED CEILINGS

Special consideration was taken to create the "triple crown boxes" that were made to go around these support posts along this vaulted ceiling. The idea was to maintain as consistent a look with the crown throughout the whole house. Previously, there was old cracked and gapped sheetrock around the posts. The look created was much more elegant.

The decorative crown moulding corner blocks were used in the kitchen and dining room for some added texture and eye appeal.

The trim, along with a new paint job with lots of warm earthy colors, created such a beautiful elegant change to this 15+ year old home. Previously, the walls were a flat off-white. The paint was upped to a satin finish with a nice glow. What a change it made!

The next photo shows a regular level ceiling meeting in with a vaulted ceiling. Also, the triple crown was going to intersect with single crown. Here we used a sufficient-sized crown mould corner block to have them meet in.

In the master bedroom is a tray ceiling. The accenting crown mould blocks were used also, with the crown mould to add a luxurious look, plus the boxes broke up the monotony of the very long walls. It created a special look for the master.

The next photo shows some very difficult angles of a vaulted ceiling being triple crowned plus a support post needing to wrap the crown around. These kind of angles can make you pull your hair out trying to make the angles all come together. It turned out beautifully.

Again, next you will see the vaulted ceiling meeting in with a level ceiling height. This is all done in triple crown.

Lastly, is another view of the vaulted triple crown and wrapping around the support wall section. It adds much texture and eye appeal.

Needless to say, the owners of this home were very pleased with the outcome! The exclaimed, "Man, This is beautiful!"

BIRDHOUSES!!!

YEP, EVEN SOME CUTE NATURAL BIRDHOUSES CAN BE BUILT BY OUR CARPENTER! THESE ATTRACT THE MOST WONDERFUL LITTLE CHARACTERS!

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A FAMILY OF BLUEBIRDS THAT MOVED IN THE DAY WE PUT THE BIRDHOUSE UP.

THERE ARE ALSO BEAUTIFUL LITTLE HOUSE WRENS (THE MALES HAVE RED HEADS AND CHESTS AND LIGHT GRAY/BROWN BODIES).

THESE ARE BUILT OUT OF CEDAR OR CYPRESS.

BUILT-IN BUNKROOM

BUILT-IN BUNK BEDS IN A SMALL BUNKROOM

BUNK HOUSE RESIDED AND TRIMMED

This is a before and after picture of a bunkhouse that we resided and trimmed out.

What a difference! You can turn anything ugly into a nice structure as long as the structure is sound.

INTERIOR WINDOW WRAP AND LEDGE

This is paint-grade interior trim that was installed on the windows and ledges of the windows.

The joints are tight and as you can see, there is no caulking to hide any poor carpentry!

Only the best!

You can see a nice reveal edge for the window wrap ledge. There is a difference between craftsmanship and just "getting a job done."

OUTDOOR STORAGE BUILDING/HEN HOUSE

HERE IS A STORAGE BUILDING WITH AN INCLUDED HEN HOUSE.
THE OWNERS WANTED SOMETHING THAT WOULD STAY IN PLACE IN THE HIGH WINDS OF THE GULF COAST REGION. THE FOUR CORNER POSTS WERE SET INTO THE EARTH WITH CONCRETE AND CREATE THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE BUILDING.
THIS BUILDING WENT THROUGH HURRICANE IVAN WITHOUT MISHAP!

THE SIDE WINGS WERE ADDED AS A "CARPORT" FOR THE STORAGE OF BICYCLES, LAWN MOWER AND YARD TOOLS. INSIDE IS A NESTING BOX AREA FOR CHICKEN EGG PRODUCTION AND A ROOSTING AREA FOR THE CHICKENS TO SLEEP.
THERE IS ALSO STORAGE ROOM INSIDE FOR FEED, HORSE GEAR OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
THE BACK SIDE HAS A LADDER/STAIRS THAT LEAD TO AN ATTIC LOFT USED TO STORE UP TO 50 BALES OF HAY.
