Hello Everyone!
So much great info on here. I wanted to share some recently finished pieces i made. i thought you may find it kinda cool. I recently had a client who decided to bulldoze a lake home 64 years after the grandfather had built it. The family had grown and they needed a much bigger place for all so instead of adding on they decided to build new but use as much of the old wood as they could for sentimental reason reasons. They ran the old car siding through a planer sanded…

God gave Noah the rainbow sign,
No more water, but fire next time
After the torrential rains of the previous week that came with such fury they could have floated an ark, Richmond became hellishly hot, with the heat index hovering around 110. One gauge said the temperature alone was 109. It is easy to see how fire and brimstone…

Hope everyone is having a great summer! I want to share with you details about our upcoming free seminars. This time, we're heading to Maryland and Pennsylvania.

We want to make sure consumers begin their home building project with eyes wide open, and armed with as much…

After Mr. Seals finished putting the new header log into place, he turned his attention to a pair of two by fours that had been used to replace damaged log braces in the ceiling.
