A bathroom intervention...
What fun. It doesn't matter what the project is, the only really important thing is if I like the people I'm doing it for. Love these folks, rarely does a carpenter get so lucky at finding great clients, so I'm going to knock on wood here and hope the trend continues. If there are any details you have a question about, please drop a line or e-mail me at: jshighstreet@yahoo.com

Some pictures from Maine
I had the great fortune of working with Master Carpenter David Sprague, of whom I learned a great deal. Working with him on many jobs gave me the benefit of his experience while in return he received a strong back. Nary a day goes by that I don't use some tid-bit of knowledge gleaned from working with him.

Another job...
Had a great time re-vamping a laundry room. Spent a bit of time scratching the head regarding the framing and working backward from the finish planes to the structure. A crucial aspect to doing this kind of work is to "just go for it" sometimes. I have to say that the laser level I bought made this job SO MUCH easier, many times I didn't even make a mark, just moved the level and screwed in place.
